Instructions

Step 1

Rinse and soak your kelp noodles for approximately ten minutes.

• After you have soaked them, rinse them one more time. Dry them out a bit or let them sit in a strainer to let any excess water drip off of them.

Step 3

• Meanwhile in a food processor, add all of your ingredients for the pesto. Pulse the mixture until it reaches the consistency that you desire.

Step 4

• After you’ve finished your pesto and have soaked your kelp noodles, place your kelp noodles in a bowl, then dress it with the pesto. Mix it well. Add any optional veggie toppings you would like.

Step 5

• Dress your noodles with the kale basil pesto and serve.
