Forgive my ignorance here...I've never used or purchased anything sea vegetable related in my life. I can't find kelp powder for Bryanna's "tuna," can I use nori granules?

This is from my book "20 Minutes to Dinner":

BRYANNA'S MOCK TUNA SALAD
makes @ 4 and 1/2 c.

Make sure your chickpeas are not cooked to a very soft stage for this recipe-- canned chickpeas are perfect.

2 cans (or 3 c. cooked) chickpeas, drained
@3/4 c. Lowfator Tofu Mayonnaise
2/3 c. minced celery
1/3 c. minced dill pickle (or add a little dillweed if you have no pickles)
1/4 c. nutritional yeast flakes (or less to taste)
2 chopped green onions
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. kelp powder (or substitute nori or dulse flakes to taste)
1/2 tsp. salt (or 1 T. soy or chickpea miso)
pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, mash the chickpeas coarsely with a fork. Mix in the remaining ingredients, using 1/2 c. mayonnaise at first, and then adding more as needed (you don't want the mixture to be too "gloppy"). Cover and refrigerate. Use on sandwiches or on green salad.

Got to tell you, I was a wee bit skeptical about this one but as usual, Bryanna's recipes taste really good. I also made the low-fat "mayo" and it is better than regular mayo.
