This soba noodle salad is so easy to make, it’s gonna be your new favourite. This dish is healthy, spicy, very refreshing, packed with crunchy veggies and an insanely creamy peanut-ginger dressing. Also super quick to make and keeps well in the fridge for days. Actually it gets even better if you leave it in the fridge for a while.
Soba noodles are one of my favourite go-to ingredients. They are so versatile and work amazing with many asian inspired dish. They taste delicious warm and cold too, so they are the perfect choice for a busy week: you can make a big portion and eat it all week. I like to add crunchy veggies and a creamy sauce, but you can be really creative here. Soba noodles are great with any nut butter, with tamari or soy sauce, or just with a simple citrus juice-oil combo. You can add any herb, nuts, veggies or even fruits (mangoes or plantains are great). It’s always gonna be yummy, I promise!

Soba noodles are one of my favorite types of noodles to use. They taste great and I like that I can use them in cold dishes without losing flavor or great texture. Your soba noodles salad is wonderful, Evi. This would be great to make on a Sunday and pack for lunches during the week. 🙂
Thanks, Julie!
Soba noodles are such fantastic ingredients. Especially for cold dishes! I haven’t really found any other noodle which tastes great after more than a day in the fridge, so soba is just the best for summer time 🙂
I want to dive right in! That peanut creaminess….so perfect with the noodle!
Thank you, Rebecca!
You said it’s going to be a new favorite. Indeed, it’s already! I love soba in many ways, but I haven’t made it for ages. I know – guilty:) Love these vibrant colors and flavors going on. Well done!
Thanks, Ben! 🙂
Yum, it’s been too ling since I last had soba noodles. This salad looks just perfect!
Thank you 😉
I love soba noodles as well and this salad has everything I like in it. Wonderful pictures!
Thanks, Adina! 🙂
This is absolutely delicious. I just made it so it’s ready when I get in from an exercise class later and can’t stop eating it. I added some fresh basil too which works really well and instead of peanuts, I toasted some cashew nuts. I love your recipes. I’m not a vegetarian but like to eat several meals a week that don’t involve meat and you are a great source of inspiration. Even my husband is a convert! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, Katie! I am so happy to hear that!
The added fresh basil and cashews sounds delicious too ?
Made this tonight and it was so easy and delicious! will be making again for sure.
Hi there,
I’m so glad you liked it!
I have actually also just made the noodles yesterday, and rolled it in some rice paper 😉
