    I felt it needed a little more flavor, so I added 1 teaspoon of soy sauce. I was surprised at how well lettuce and wakame go together—the contrast in textures was really nice 💕 My daughter doesn’t like garlic, so I left it out, but it still turned out delicious. If you add an appropriate amount of aonori, it gives it a different kind of delicious flavor 😸 Please give it a try 💕

    Wow, such a fresh salad! The aroma of sesame oil and garlic made it so easy to eat a lot of it.

    I like stronger flavors, so I added a little chicken stock powder. It was easy and delicious (*´⚰︎`* )💕

    The seasonings are simple, but the garlic and sesame flavors really come through, and it was very delicious. Using coarsely ground pepper added a nice accent of aroma and heat. It was also great that it required no knife work and only needed to be tossed together, so it was quick and easy to make.

    It was incredibly delicious. It was easy to make. It’s like a Korean-style salad. It’s perfect as a side dish.

    I used a bag of pre-cut vegetables, so it had some other things mixed in too... but it was delicious!

    This was such a helpful recipe for when I wanted just a little extra side dish 🤭 I usually only buy lettuce when it’s on sale, so I can’t make it very often, but fresh lettuce and wakame go perfectly with a dressing that has a nice hint of garlic ✨ I used the toasted sesame seeds as they were 😅

    It was delicious. I’ll make it again.
