  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons kelp flakes, plus 1/4 teaspoon for garnish
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Sriracha hot sauce, for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh vegetables, chips or pita bread, to serve


Directions:
In a large food processor or blender, combine the avocados, olive oil, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic, matcha green tea powder, sea salt and 2 teaspoons kelp flakes. Process or blend until smooth.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving, then sprinkle the remaining kelp flakes and drizzle the Sriracha hot sauce on top, if using.
