Kelp Noodle Salad
Kelp noodles? Kelp? Sounds kind of odd doesn't it? But, I'll tell you, I LOVE noodles and any way I can eat them and have it be uber healthy and yummy makes me very happy.
Most noodles and pasta, as I'm sure you know, are full of gluten, white flour, eggs... just not good stuff. But, these babies are full of minerals! And NOT full of calories.
Win win!
Now, when you get these they will be sort of strange and crunchy, but they just need a little help softening up and they will be so delicious and flavorful you will love them in salads and stir fries from now on.
Kelp Noodle Prep
1. When you take them out of the package rinse them well or soak them in warm water for 10 minutes. This will soften them and help them separate.
2. They come is really long strands, so cut them with kitchen scissors or a knife to turn them into manageable lengths.
3. Proceed with your favorite recipe!
