Refreshing Salad

In an attempt to feed ourselves amidst the heat we have sought chilled noodles in light broths with vegetables and seaweed. In looking to remove more heat from our kitchen, in conjunction with some beautiful tomatoes, we put together a light salad with shaved jalapeno, toasted nori rectangles, sliced onion, green olive oil and wine vinegar. Sure, we left out the noodles, but the tastes and flavors married happily and the toasted nori, a staple in our cold noodles became the secret star. Just had to share, the whole dish just made me smile.
