I have been searching for this recipe for years. I finally found one but changed some of the ingredients so that it was healthier. The end results was perfect, it tasted just like the salad I've eaten in Asian restaurants. You can get the sea weed ingredients for this salad at most Asian supermarkets, that's where I got mine. I went to Whole Foods for the Coconut Aminos, Coconut Vinegar and Coconut Nectar. These are made by Coconut Secret.

    Make your sauce and then mix everything together. You can leave this sit overnight in a non-reactive bowl. It needs that time so the flavors can go through the sea weed. NOTE: You could also make the sauce ahead of time and set it aside until the sea weed is complete. It's up to you.
