Summer Veggie and Seaweed Salad

The boys came home from their bike ride - starving. So I opened up the fridge to see what I could whip up that didn't require too much cooking.

Salad... 1 yellow squash, julienned 1 C orange cherry tomatoes 1 C arame seaweed (reconstituted and drained) 1 C dinosaur kale, thinly sliced (blanched and drained) 2 heads of Little Gems lettuce Place all of the ingredients - except for the Little Gems - in a large mixing bowl. Gently lay your leaves on a plate. Drizzle the veggies with 1 T olive oil, 1 T sesame oil, 1 t soy sauce, and 1 t freshly squeezed lemon juice. Toss to coat. Spoon the dressed veggies over the leaves. Sprinkle with furikake, if desired.
