Kelp Noodles with raw pesto

Here is one quick recipe that is easy to make if you feel hungry and would like to eat something A.S.A.P.
I just love Kelp Noodles and this recipe reminds me of pasta with pesto which I used to eat but it tastes much better and has so much more benefits than pasta. It´s full of all kinds of nutrients like: A, B1, B2, C, D and E as well as minerals including zinc, iodine, magnesium, iron potassium, copper and calcium. It contains the high concentration of calcium - 10 times more than milk!

Did you know that Kelp are large seaweeds belonging to the brown algae in the order Laminariales. There are about 30 different genera. Kelp grows in underwater "forests"in shallow oceans, and thought to have appeared in Micone, 23 to 5 million years ago!!!






Kelp Noodles with raw pesto:


  • One bag of Kelp Noodles 
  • 1 dl pine nuts
  • 2 handful of fresh basil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon - juice 
  • 1 avocado
  • pinch of salt (or more) 
Preparation:

1. Rinse noodles well under the water (or according to the instructions)
2. In the blender or food processor mix pine nuts, basil, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice, until it gets a nice consistency
3. Put avocado and pulse until it combines well and looks nice and creamy. Taste it with some salt. 
4. Put Kelp Noodles in the big bowl and pour pesto over it. Mix it all together well, a few minutes, until all Kelp Noodles are covered in pesto sauce. If you are not too hungry let them sit aside for a while or until you make a salad.
