Ingredients
Salad:
- 1-16 ounce package of kelp noodles
- ¼ cup shredded carrots
- ¼ cup chopped purple cabbage
- 1 large scallion chopped
- 1 avocado diced

- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of two limes
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Open package of kelp noodles. Submerge noodles in warm water for about 5 minutes to soften them. After 5 minutes, drain the water. (Use kitchen shears or a knife to make the noodles shorter and easier to eat, if desired.) Let noodles cool and add them to a salad bowl. Top with carrots, purple cabbage, scallion and avocado.

Notes
If you can't find kelp noodles, spiralized zucchini or rice noodles can take their place in this spring-y, detox salad. Carrots, avocado, red cabbage and scallions make for a rainbow of antioxidant- and fiber-rich veggies, and the brightness of the ginger-lime dressing will make this a go-to weeknight dinner when it's warm out. Vegans can omit the honey in the dressing, or sub in agave, brown sugar or another sweetener.
