Thank you, Cindy. I have to try this recipe. I have no clue what Seaweed Sushinori is. If there is nori involved I will pass. Perhaps dulse would work instead. :)

rawknitster--when i make a basic kale salad with avocado smushed in (kale, garlic, olive oil, agave or maple syrup, avo), i always add dulse. (and sometimes orange or strawberry chunks.). the dulse is fab, expecially if you get the applewood smoked one (still raw). so yeah, id sub dulse

oh yeah i also add nutritional yeast on top. and pine nuts if i have em.
