Cold Soba Noodle Salad Recipe. Noodle Salad Bowl with Peppers, Carrots, Zucchini, Green Onion and Sesame Lime Ginger Dressing. Refreshing Summer Salad. #Vegan #Nutfree. #Glutenfree Option, #SoyfreeOption #veganricha #recipe

Its been Very hot in the PNW last few weeks and standing near the hot stove to cook is not fun. Light meals that can be made ahead, work out best. This noodle salad is a perfect light dinner or lunch. It can be made ahead and is very refreshing. These soba noodles are also great to take to potlucks or to eat outside enjoying the sunny summer evening. 

Cook the noodles, toss in oil to keep them from getting sticky. Chop the veggies, mix the dressing, toss with noodles and done! Change up the veggies, add some tofu or edamame, change up the dressing with some peanut butter for a peanut dressing for variations. Chill the dressing for a bit so the ginger can infuse the dressing as well get slightly pickled in the lime + vinegar to take the raw edge off.

    Whipped this up for my lunchbox today. Added a side of baked tofu. All the simple ingredients make you think that it will definitely be good, but it is SO delicious. The dressing, fresh veggies were a perfect start to Monday! Love your simple meals. We make a few every week.

    I made this for dinner tonight, with a red curry lentil soup. It was outstanding, refreshing and light. Just what we needed on a hot summer night. Definitely a keeper.

      Just an additional note that it was just as tasty the next day, which is not always true of leftovers

    Yes, it is incredibly humid outside! UGH, I absolutely despise it. This cooling noodle salad looks perfect for this weather–pasta does not always have to weigh you down!
