I decided to try making this salad I ate as an appetizer at a Japanese restaurant I recently dined at. The sealegs were on sale at the grocery store so I got some iceberg lettuce and a bottle of thousand island dressing. So it just required chopping up the lettuce (perhaps not as finely as the restaurant did), and shredding the sealegs. I used a lot more dressing than I normally would have because that is what the restaurant did. It was delicious and didn't last long but the next time I might just use a normal amount of dressing.
We were in the grocery store yesterday at 11 am. There was an announcement for a minute of silence, they played the Remembrance Day song and the Flander's Fields poem. Everyone stayed still and quiet.

Yum on the salad. I love when we get inspired by meals and go home and make it. Very fun.
It's good to know that people give respect to Remembrance Day. That salad makes me crave.
I think it is a worthy tradition to give respect to Remembrance Day and somehow it makes me happy to hear that everyone stayed still and quiet in honor of the soldiers.
Your salad looks delicious!
The salad looks great! I always use a lot of dressing, I guess I like it more than the lettuce lol!
The salad looks really good. And how wonderful about the grocery store and the minute of silence. That is great.
an old classic, but a favorite! Perhaps why I love Big Mac's secret sauce so much!
I had to look up what sealegs were so I used this site here:

There are so many places that do observe the minute of silence, I think that is so good.
All the best Jan
I'm glad you enjoyed your salad, I'm not a huge fan of lots of dressing but many people seem to like it.
they don't even do that for Veterans' day here, though american stores are often all about the capitalism.
What a lovely celebration of Remembrance Day!
