STEPS TO MAKE THE HIJIKI SALAD:

Next, dice up 1/2 block of firm tofu or rip in small pieces (looks like feta!).

Wash your lettuce of choice (I like arugula and spring mix). Plate the salad on the bottom and top with tofu, hijiki and sesame dressing (you can use homemade or make the sesame dressing below!).
