Kelp Noodles Asian Salad

By

This salad is absolutely divine, fresh, colorful and crisp, with a taste of sweet and salty that reminds me of Asian countries! It’s made with kelp noodles that are clear, thin noodles made from kelp, a kind of brown seaweed that is notable for its high iodine content. They are tasteless, crunchy, low carb, low fat, low calorie and gluten free noodles. They are rich in more than 70 minerals, including iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iodine, and all these properties make them a great alternative to pasta.

Macadamia nuts are high in iron, magnesium, manganese, and fiber and they are also a fabulous source of antioxidants, mono-unsaturated fats, and protein.

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

Although peanuts are traditionally used in Asian cuisine, this recipe calls for macadamia nuts instead, which are much higher in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Kelp noodles are a particularly versatile ingredient with a neutral taste, so these gluten-free, fat-free, low-carb noodles are well complimented by the macadamia nuts, mango, and greens that pull this dish together. In addition, kelp noodles are a great source of calcium, which is often difficult to get enough of, especially if following a dairy-free diet.
