Cooking Instructions:

Start by rinsing the dried seaweed under cold water to remove any excess salt or impurities.

Soak the seaweed in a bowl of water for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes soft and pliable.

While the seaweed is soaking, prepare the vegetables. Finely chop the cucumber and bell pepper, and grate the carrot.

Set aside in a mixing bowl.

Once the seaweed is ready, drain and gently squeeze out any excess water.

Chop the seaweed into small, bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the chopped vegetables.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey or agave syrup, and crushed garlic (if using).

Pour this dressing over the seaweed and vegetable mixture.

Toss everything together gently to guarantee all the ingredients are well combined and coated in the dressing.

Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.

For peak enjoyment, serve the seaweed salad in a shallow dish or a small plate that's easy for your hermit crabs to access.

Make sure to remove any uneaten food after a few hours to maintain a clean environment in their habitat.

Additionally, remember to introduce new foods gradually to avoid upsetting their digestive systems.

Enjoy watching your hermit crabs relish their tasty meal!
