Rinse and soak hijiki in warm water while preparing rest of ingredients.
Peel cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds with a small spoon and slice thin.
Cut tomato in half crosswise and squeeze out seeds. Quarter and cut out excess pulp. Cut into slices about ¼ inch wide.

Healthy Cooking Tips:
This salad is best salted right before serving. The salt will draw out the water from the cucumbers and dilute the flavor.
