Kelp Noodle Salad

KELP NOODLE SALAD

1 PACKAGE KELP NOODLES  WE USED “SEA TANGLE” BRAND SINCE THEY WERE AVAILABLE AT RAINBOW GROCERY BUT I’VE SEEN VARIOUS BRANDS BOTH ON LINE AND @ WHOLE FOODS

RINSE NOODLES, PLACE IN BOWL WITH JUICE OF 1- 3 LEMONS/LIMES – DEPENDS ON THE JUICINESS OF THE FRUIT AND HOW TART YOU LIKE YOUR FOOD

NOW HERE IS WHERE THE FUN AND CREATIVITY COME IN…

CHIFFONADE WHAT EVER HERBS AND GREEN LEAFY SUPER FLAVORFUL STUFF YOU CAN FIND… WE USED:

THAI BASIL (1/4 CUP)

PARSELY (1/4 CUP)

DILL (1/4 CUP - CAUSE IT LOOKED SO PRETTY AT THE FARMERS MARKET)

CILANTRO (1/4 CUP)

FINE CHOP OTHER PRETTY CRUNCHY VEGGIES AS AVAILABLE… WE USED:

2-3 RADISHES

½ - ¾ CUP FINE CHOPPED PURPLE CABBAGE

3-6 BABY CARROTS CHOPPED OR GRATED

            TOSS IT ALL, LET IT MARINATE FOR A BIT AND VIOLA YOU HAVE A MINERAL RICH, CRUNCHY TASTY SATISFYING TREAT!

            VARIATION: YOU CAN ADD A SAUCE MADE OF ¼ CUP RAW ALMOND BUTTER STIRRED TOGETHER WITH THE JUICE OF 1-2 LEMON/LIME TO MAKE THIS MORE LIKE A “RAW PAD THAI”.  DON’T BE TRICKED BY THAT NAME THOUGH ‘CAUSE THESE NOODLES ARE CRUNCHY!

ENJOY!
