Philippines Ensaladang Lato (Seaweed Salad)
Ensaladang lato is a tangy, briny, and nutritious seaweed salad that Filipinos typically serve with grilled meat or fried seafood and steamed rice. Lato seaweed looks like bunches of tiny green grapes, hence its other name, sea grapes. Some top this salad with diced mango, green onions, or sliced eggs. Recipe Servings: Serves 4
