Bitter Greens and Arame Salad

Victoria Boutenko

Know Your Ingredients:



Arame Seaweed



Arame has a mild pleasant taste. It blends well with other flavors and is a rich source of iron, calcium, zinc and iodine. Arame is also a good source of lignans which help fight cancer. (Source: http://www.annecollins.com/diet_foods/arame-seaweed.htm)



You may purchase arame at your local health food store or from Eden Foods via internet at: http://www.edenfoods.com

2 cups chopped endive (Belgium endive, purple, or green)

This is amazingly delicious, slightly bitter salad that we have been making last week and sharing with Valya.
