Instructions

- Soak the rinsed dulse seaweed in a bowl of water for 5 minutes, then drain and gently squeeze out excess water.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked dulse seaweed, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and diced avocado.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a zesty dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated.
- Chill the dulse salad in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional dulse flakes if desired, and enjoy!

- You can substitute the dulse with other seaweeds such as nori or wakame for different flavors and textures.
- Experiment with additional ingredients, such as bell peppers or radishes, for more color and flavor.
