Seaweed is the new black. The dried form can be found in the Asian section of supermarkets and keeps a long time in the pantry. Keep a few packets handy to add to salads like this, and experiment with mixing different kinds together. Given its ocean origin, this salad goes extremely well with all kinds of seafood.
