It might seem fussy to separate the vegetables when pickling, but if they're combined, the colors will bleed and they won't be as vibrant.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
Step 1
Place radishes, carrots, onion, and cucumber in 4 separate bowls or jars. Bring sugar, salt, 1 cup vinegar, and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour pickling liquid over vegetables to cover; let cool. Cover and chill.
Step 2
Grind nori in a blender, scraping down sides as needed, until finely ground. Add oil, soy sauce, mirin, and remaining 1/4 cup vinegar and blend until smooth. Toss lettuces and dressing in a large bowl to coat. Drain pickled vegetables and arrange on top of salad.
Step 3
DO AHEAD:Nori vinaigrette can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Vegetables can be pickled 1 day ahead; keep chilled.

Back to TopThere are different sizes of nori sheets, I wonder which the recipe refers to. I assume a full size as is used for sushi rolls. Millcreek, what size did you use?

The pickled vegetable are divine but I did not care for the Nori Vinaigrette. Not only did I not like the taste but it was visually displeasing. I opted to make a Thai Vinaigrette using lime juice, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, garlic, castor sugar and crushed red pepper. I served this salad at a dinner party last evening and there was not a morsel left over. The pickled vegetables are also perfect for Bahn Mi sandwiches.

This is one of the best salads I have made in years. It sounds tedious, but it is not. I put my veggies in jam jars for the pickling process and then just used tongs to pull out the appropriate amounts...saving the vinegar for future recipes. It was absolutely beautiful and the nori vinaigrette was fabulous. My husband loved it, and said so over and over. I served it with potstickers, which can tend to be heavy, but the salad lighted it all up. Next time, I'll try it with fish. If your store carries it, buy the box of Artisian Salad, which has four beautiful little heads of different colored/textured lettuces...just the right amount. I will make this over and over. A winner!
