Raw Kelp Noodle & Fermented Cultured Veggie Salad
Raw Kelp noodles are a staple item in our pantry, they are so easy to prepare with no cooking needed and are a perfect addition to any asian style salad. They have a crunchy texture without any strong taste, low carb and full of trace minerals. Made from kelp (a sea vegetable) and extracts from brown seaweed, it’s a great replacement over rice noodles. You can also heat them up in broths and soups. I love just mixing them up with some thinly cut vegetables and some fermented cultured carrots. It takes no time to prepare either as you only have to rinse them in cold water straight from the package.

- 1 340gm Packet of Raw Kelp noodles (I use Sea Tangle brand)
- 1 small zucchini, shredded finely using a mandolin
- 1 small carrot, shredded finely using a mandolin
- about 1/2 a cup of fermented veggies (I used carrot & cabbage, you can leave this out if you don’t have any on hand, or you can make your own and have some stored using this recipehere)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- a handful of toasted almonds
- a handful of coriander leaves
For the dressing:
- 1 tbsp wheat free tamari or coconut aminos
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp raw honey

Method:
