This is a great summer dish, happens to be pretty healthy and you don’t feel like you are missing anything. The tahini/sesame oil make it really nutty and is better for you than the usual peanut sauce. This is a spicy dish! Lower the amount of chili oil if you are not keen on spicy food. Make sure your oils and soy sauce are organic to avoid GMOs.

Many soba noodle salads have too much sodium and oil. This one is cut down considerably without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients –  Cold Soba Noodle Salad Recipe (organic, if possible)
1/2 cup mixed or shredded veg of your choice, sauteed and cooled
1/2 lb soba noodles
1/8 cup Tamari or soy sauce
1/8 cup cane sugar
1/8 cup sesame oil
1/8 cup tahini
1 TB chili oil
1 1/2 TB sherry wine vinegar
scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Method
Boil the soba for according to package directions  (this also cooks very fast, so don’t walk away). Shock the soba in a bowl with ice water, put back in a colander and rinse the noodles. Add the noodles and the other ingredients in a medium bowl and toss. Chill. Enjoy!
