Sesame Citrus Soba Salad
Makes 4 servings of salad, and about 1 cup of dressing
The citrus in this recipe—a combination of orange and lime—adds brightness without being overly sweet or tart. It’s a perfect contrast to the bold flavors of garlic, ginger and tamari, not to mention the earthiness of buckwheat noodles. The salad is easy to pull together for a casual lunch or light dinner. To make the dish even more substantial, you can add marinated and baked tofu cubes, or you can serve it bowl-style, with extra steamed vegetables.
