Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes).

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, wasabi paste, grated ginger, and lime juice to create the vinaigrette.

Step 5

Add the cooled soba noodles to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss everything together until well coated.

Step 7

Divide the salad into bowls or plates and serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes before serving for a colder dish.
