Soba noodles are such a versatile item to keep in your pantry. They take about 3 minutes to cook and contain less calories and more fiber than traditional pasta, making them a quick and healthy option for a side dish. We love this simple soba noodle salad that we adapt with whatever vegetables we have on hand.
This week we got some beautiful watermelon radishes in our JBG Organic CSA box, which I LOVE because they are so beautiful to photograph and have a milder flavor than most traditional radishes. If you can’t find them (they have them occasionally at Whole Foods), you can replace them with a different veggie of your choice (edamame, snap peas, or cucumbers would all go well here too).
We added in some carrots, green onions, and cabbage but again, this is easily adaptable to your own tastes.
This dressing is a combo of miso paste (we use this one), rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. It’s the perfect balance of flavors and pairs wonderfully with these veggies. A little sriracha adds some heat, if desired.
We often pair serve salad with grilled chicken, but would go great with tofu if trying to keep it vegetarian, or grilled shrimp.

PS – If you are thinking about getting into CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), want to cut down on your global footprint, and support local business and are from Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, or Houston, I cannot recommend JBG enough.
