Prepare the noodles: Soak the kelp noodles in warm water with a teaspoon of baking soda and a splash of lemon or lime juice for about a minute. This softens them and removes some of the kelp flavor. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
Combine: Toss the prepared kelp noodles with your choice of chopped fresh vegetables and herbs.
Dress: Whisk together the dressing ingredients and pour over the noodle and veggie mix.
Assemble: Add flakes or strips of smoked salmon to the salad. Gently toss or arrange on top.
Garnish and serve: Top with garnishes and serve immediately.
