More chilly summer dishes coming your way! Up next, soba noodle salad with sesame soy dressing.
This is one of my fave summer lunches. It takes 10 minutes and you eat it cold. Perfect for July weather amiright?
You don't even have to cook the vegetables! A quick boil on the noodles and that's all the cooking you need. Toss everything in a delicious sesame soy dressing aaaand done 🙌🏻.
There's something so unique about soba noodles with that slight nutty taste and light texture. My favorite soba is the Japanese buckwheat version. Ever since we went to Japan on our honeymoon, I've basically been obsessed with them
You can dress them up or down, eat them plain with dipping sauce or in soup, even hot or cold!
As much as I love a good bowl of ramen style noodle soup, the heat of July calls for cold soba.
Beat the heat this summer with this chilled soba noodle salad. Don't forget the sesame soy dressing!
