Tuna Kelp Scroodle

Tuna Kelp Scroodle

Seaweed is a tricky thing to sneak into a kiddie diet, but well worth the trouble. A great source of iodine, it’s also packed with magnesium, iron, potassium, and antioxidants. Kelp noodles blend right in with this tasty tuna salad. They’re mild in flavor with a texture just like pasta (a little crunchier when fresh) and don’t require any cooking. Look for them at natural food stores, Asian markets, or online.
