Soba Salad

Ingredients

• 6-9 oz (2-3 bundles) soba (buckwheat noodles)
• 1/2 cup green onions/scallions
• 3 Tbsp. sesame seeds

For dressing

• 1 Tbsp. canola or grapeseed oil
• 3 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red peppers
• 3 Tbsp. honey
• 3 Tbsp. soy sauce

Directions

1. To make the dressing, combine canola/grapeseed oil, sesame oil and crushed red peppers in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Set aside to let it cool a bit; be careful while handling as it'll get very hot.
2. Combine the honey and soy sauce in another small bowl and add the oil mixture. Whisk all together until honey is completely dissolved.
3. Bring water to a boil and cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions, but keep it al dente. Drain into a colander and rinse the soba under cold running water. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
4. Combine the soba, dressing, green onion, and sesame seeds, and toss everything together. Transfer to a serving bowl or plate. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
