How to prepare Ensaladang Lato (Filipino Seaweed Salad)

Thinking of cooking a full course Filipino meal for your friends and/or family? Having a hard time thinking of a simple and easy but delicious appetized? Ensaladang Lato may just be your answer.

Ensalada is a Spanish word that translates to Salad. Ensaladang Lato can also be referred to as Seaweed Salad. This dish’s main component is edible seaweed. Some may not find this ingredient immediately appetizing but don’t let the name fool you; Ensaladang Lato packs a punch of flavors. You get a great combination from the basic ingredients such as onion, tomatoes, etc. and a unique flavor from the seaweed, and all together results to a dish which can be used as an appetizer or a side dish for seafood dishes.

As delicious as this sound, the process isn’t as hard as you may think. It can actually just be summed up to two processes: chop and combine. How great is that?
