Pacific Harvest: Watermelon Kelp Salad
SEA VEGGIES BOOST YOUR HEALTH AND FLAVORS!
The first time I tasted wild nori, it was served up in crispy handfuls from a recycled cereal box in the remote First Nations village of Gwayasdums on Gilford Island, British Columbia. The dark, crumpled wads had a vaguely pearlescent, purple-black surface. They tasted of smoked salmon and crunched like popcorn. I didn’t know it then, but the Elders who had picked and processed this seaweed by hand weeks earlier were sharing one of their most cherished traditional foods and trade items.
