For the salad
- 12 oz kelp noodles

Ingredient noteA serving of up to about 3/4 cup of cabbage is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 1/2 cup per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid cabbage, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 english cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
Ingredient noteThe green parts of scallions are low in FODMAPs. Avoid the white bulb which is higher in FODMAPs.
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, roughly torn
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves
For the dressing
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
- 1
Rinse the kelp noodles under cold water in a colander, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Fill the bowl with warm water, add the baking soda, and stir briefly to combine. Let the noodles soak for 15 minutes, until they soften from crunchy and stiff to pliable and tender.

While the noodles soak, whisk together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, grated ginger, turmeric, sea salt, and lime juice in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is uniform.
