Carrot, Cucumber and Kelp Noodle Salad with Peanut Miso Dressing

A woman I met at the foodstore was extolling the virtues of kelp noodles and how nutritious they were, and how they make a nice salad with carrots and cucumbers.  That was enough for me to give them a go as I had lots of carrots and cucumbers coming on in the garden.

So here is the salad I made – the peanut miso dressing is definitely a tasty winner.

Julienned Carrot and Cucumber

Kelp Noodles (no cooking required)

Dressing

1 tbsp miso paste

3 tbsp ground peanuts or peanut butter

1 tsp sugar

Dash of sesame oil and rice wine vinegar to taste

Mix all together, adding water until you get to the desired consistency.  Add dressing to vegetables and noodles and stir well.
