Why Add Seaweed to Your Diet?

This tartare isn’t just delicious—it’s packed with nutrients.

Seaweed is known for being:

• Naturally rich in iodine, essential for thyroid health

• A great source of iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin B12

• High in antioxidants, which help protect your cells

The seaweed blend used here (often called "fisherman's mix") includes various types like nori, wakame, kombu, and sea lettuce, each with its own taste and nutritional profile.

Vegan and Gluten-Free Seaweed Tartare

Ingredients

Basic recipe

• 10 g dried seaweed (I used sea lettuce)

• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

• Juice of 1/2 lemon

• 3 tablespoons olive oil (or omega-3-rich oil)

Optional additions

• 2 teaspoons chopped capers

• 2 teaspoons finely chopped pickles

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the dried seaweed with the lemon juice and olive oil. Let it sit for a few minutes so the seaweed can rehydrate.

2. Add the finely chopped onion and your choice of optional ingredients.

3. Stir well, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tip: Store in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator. It keeps well for a week.
