This recipe takes but minutes to throw together and is bursting with minerals that will nourish and sustain you. The dressing is light and fresh, and only requires a brief whisk. Chef Mila Llina shares with us some nutritional wisdom, “If there’s one thing, aside from leafy greens, that I would recommend people start incorporating into their diet, it would definitely be sea vegetables! They’re loaded with vitamins and minerals, including trace minerals!  I can’t say enough about how wonderful they are.” Here’s to the power of the sea veggie!
