LATO (Grape Seaweed)

Saturday morning, Ate Ruth wakes me up to accompany her to the market. I wake up Zach as he told me the last night that he wanted to come with us to see the fresh fish and  cut up pork and beef meat hanging  in the wet market's stalls. What an adventure. Ate Ruth drives us to the market. As soon as we  stepped in the wet market, I saw mounds of mounds of these grape seaweeds in the fish department. I could not pass it up--I just had to have some and make some salad.Amazing how they taste like caviar--vegan version. Growing up in the Philippines, I was always delighted when I see lato salad on the table---not only is it fun to eat and delicious to eat, lato is also  very nutritious. 

  What beauty...
