Soba Noodle Salad

Cold, light and refreshing.  A great mayo-free alternative to pasta salad.  The noodles drink up a lot of dressing and needs lots of seasoning.

• 12 ounces soba noodles, cooked and rinsed thoroughly under cold water to stop the cooking process
• sesame oil
• soy sauce
• honey
• rice wine vinegar
• grated ginger
• grated garlic
• chili sauce, optional
• chopped green onion
• salt, pepper
• red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• carrot, julienned
• sugar snaps thinly sliced
• sesame seeds

Make dressing (oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, chili sauce, salt, pepper) and make overly salty to ensure adequate seasoning of the noodles

Pour over the noodles and mix to ensure that the noodles are well-coated

Add veggies and mix

Top with more green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds
