What a GREAT ingredient - KELP NOODLES!! The no cook, low-carb, seaweed-nutrient-infused noodle, that never looses it's crunch, even days after hanging out in the dressing. Not to mention a perfect way to incorporate all of the delicious benefits that seaweed brings to your diet.
To showcase this delightful noodle I'm sharing my FAVORITE NOODLE SALAD. If you don't want to use kelp noodles, this vinaigrette is just as delicious tossed with your favorite noodles (rice or udon are perfect), spaghetti squash or ribboned veg (think zucchini, squash, etc). Or change it up and use it to make an Asian chicken or tuna salad. Perfect as a make-ahead dish for picnics or entertaining - enjoy!
