- Storage: Transfer wakame salad to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge. It will be good for 3 to 4 days. Refrigerate any leftover dressing with the lid tightly closed.

- Ensure the lettuce and wakame are thoroughly drained before use.
- Add the dressing to the salad just before serving.
