Soba Noodle Salad with Peanut Dressing – it’s creamy, savory, slightly sweet and just a touch sour. The peanut dressing coats the buckwheat noodles and fresh vegetables without weighing anything down. And best of all, this salad can satisfy your lunch or dinner cravings. It also makes a great accompaniment to Asian food, summer barbecues or wherever you need a refreshing noodle salad. It’s a light, vegan and gluten-free pasta salad.

In case you don’t know soba noodles yet

Are they delicious and made from buckwheat. They’re a great source of protein and I highly recommend trying them out.

These noodles are also ideal as a main course or as a simple side dish and go well with all sorts of things such as grilled vegetables, in Asian soups or, of course, in tasty salads.

Possible variations:

Try and experiment with a wide variety of ingredients. This soba noodle salad is quite flexible…

  • Add more vegetables: how about some grated carrots, diced avocados, green peas, finely chopped red cabbage or colorful strips of peppers…
  • More Protein: If it doesn’t have to be vegetarian or vegan, some of the options would be boiled or seared salmon, shrimp or mussels. Inserts for vegans like tofu or tempeh would certainly harmonize with these noodles.
  • Herbs: Cilantro haters use parsley or basil. Add finely chopped mint for a little freshness.
  • Gluten-free: Soba noodles are actually made from buckwheat, but make sure they’re certified gluten-free. Many pastas have a certain amount of wheat. If you want to make this gluten-free salad, you also need to make sure to use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Hot and Spicy: If you love to spice up your salad, maybe use Sriracha, Thai Bird Chiles or a pinch of cayenne pepper to spice up the peanut sauce.
  • Noodles: If soba noodles aren’t your thing, you can substitute an equal amount of your other favorite noodles.
