Raw Sweet Potato Salad with Arame

This recipe comes from chef Sarah Britton on www.rawfoodrecipes.com.

A grounding, filling raw sweet potato salad with the inclusion of shredded daikon radish, sliced celery, tart apple, ginger, toasted sesame seeds, soaked mineral rich arame seaweed and a gentle dressing of lemon, agave, tamari, and cold pressed sesame oil. Delightful as a side salad with a steamed grain like quinoa or brown rice, or served with miso soup on a rainy day. If agave nectar isn’t your thing, try yacon or coconut nectar in this dressing for a malty earthy sweetness that compliments the root vegetables very well!
