Recently, I have heard so many good things about kelp and its nutritional benefits. First and foremost, is kelp a noddle or a plant or a string? What is kelp??? Kelp noodles are a sea vegetable in the form of an easy to eat raw noodle. Made of only kelp (a sea vegetable), sodium alginate (sodium salt extracted from a brown seaweed), and water, Kelp Noodles are fat-free, gluten-free, and very low in carbohydrates and calories.

Chopped kale
The texture of the kelp is crunchy with a tad of slimy.
Mix together the salad ingredients. I made mine simple but you can add a number of different ingredients to spice things up, including avocado, scallion, cilantro.
Make the dressing: tahini, soy sauce, lime, sesame oil.
Dress the salad and voila!
This was my first attempt at cooking with kelp, and I am excited to explore more! Have a great weekend!
Looks very healthy.. I’m interested to see how it tastes.
