This wakame and spring onion dressing celebrates the flavours of freshly shucked oysters from the ocean. Charring spring onion on the barbecue transforms it from sharp and acidic into sweet, soft, smoky and silky. Caramelised lemon will add refreshing sweetness to the dressing. Wakame, soy and sesame finish this dressing, bringing a world of savoury and salty flavours. Be sure to give this restaurant quality (yet so simple) dish a go!

Finely chop 2 tablespoons of wakame. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and chopped wakame to the bowl. Mix to combine and taste, adjusting the flavours if you desire.
