Serves 4.

Remove wakame from bowl, squeeze out excess water, and place in food processor container along with cilantro, nutritional yeast, sesame seeds, garlic, and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne. Blend until wakame is broken down into small pieces. Add 3 Tbsp (45 mL) grapeseed or sunflower oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water to container and blend until a pasty mixture forms.
