This raw, guilt-free version of traditional pad thai is so creamy and delicious that you won't be able to stop eating it! (And that's ok, because it is so good for you!) This recipe features kelp noodles instead of regular noodles, which contain only 18 calories for the entire package! (That's about one bite of real noodles). I had never heard of kelp noodles before finding a recipe online that called for them, but I was so pleased with my new discovery when I tried them that they are now a staple in my fridge. Kelp noodles are a delicious, healthy swap for pasta that take on the taste of whatever dressing or sauce you top them with, and they can be found at your local whole foods for only $3.99 per package. Enjoy this amazingly nutritious raw pad thai dish for lunch or dinner, and eat until your heart's content! Eating pad thai has never felt so good before!

1/2 cup edamame

For the dressing:
