Cold Soba Noodle Salad

Recipe Description

This Cold Soba Noodle Salad is one of my favorite salads to make as the weather starts to improve and I’m no longer craving the comfort food required in cold weather. Two of my favorite Asian flavors combine in the dressing for this salad: sesame oil and rice vinegar. Yum! 

Making this cold soba noodle salad recipe is really simple to make too. Start by cooking the soba noodles. Once the noodles are cold, combine them with cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, radish, spring onion, and cilantro in a salad bowl. Make a dressing from oil, lime juice, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and chili sauce. 

To make my version of Cold Soba Noodle Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
