My recipe for Asian Cucumber Salad with Wakame is quick (10 minutes or less!), easy, super healthy, and 100% vegan. It features cool cucumbers, nutrient-dense wakame seaweed, lots of interesting textures, and a tangy-umami dressing. Serve as a side salad with your favorite Asian-inspired main dishes!
