I need an intervention, y’all.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve made this salad in the last few weeks, but the 438 pounds of soba noodles I bought at the Asian market are gone.  It’s that good.  I’m hopelessly in love….

It’s so dang easy to make that it just feeds my addiction.  I hear it calling me every second of every day. It haunts me in my sleep.

And it’s is so pretty, colorful, and festive!  And summery! And crunchy!  And noodley!  And sesame-y!

Of course, Jennifer is the one who got me into this mess.  She saw it on i am a food blog and sent it to me.  Now I’m trying to make this salad in my sleep and eat it for every breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anywhere in between.

Chris is not as thrilled about it it as he was the first 178.236 times I made it.  Seriously dude?  Can I get some support here?

Ok.  I fixed him a steak.  I watched as his eyes rolled back in his head.

Happy Monday, y’all and have a fantastic week!

Cold Summer Soba Noodle and Vegetable Salad

Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 3 bundles of soba noodles - the recipe I adapted recommends 2 bundles I did 2, then 3, but I like things noodley, so I would recommend at least 4 bundles. Up to you
  • 1/4 head red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 3-4 ears of corn
  • 2 small or one large cucumber peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 orange/green or red or combination of bell peppers seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 pint heirloom cherry size tomatoes halved or quartered
  • 1 head romaine shredded or roughly chopped
  • 4-5 green onions sliced

For the Dressing

  • 2/3 cup red wine or rice wine vinegar
  • 2/3 olive oil
  • Dash of Sriracha - or more if you like this stuff
  • 6 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions and transfer to a large mixing bowl
  2. Whisk dressing ingredients until combined
  3. Toss together noodles and dressing in a large bowl and set aside
  4. Heat a large cast iron or non-stick skillet on high heat
  5. Brush corn cobs lightly with olive oil
  6. Char in skillet until desired color
  7. Slice corn from cob
  8. Add all vegetables to dressing and noodles
  9. Chill until ready to eat or serve immediately
  10. Perfect at room temperature or cold and makes a great leftover for lunch or dinner

    Look at all those colours! That corn looks perfect as well and this is so my kind of salad. I know not everyone likes cold noodles, but I love them.

    Your salad looks almost too pretty to eat. Love the colors the veggies add and I am a huge fan of sesame oil. Will have to add soba noodles to my next Asian Market trip. Thanks for sharing!

    I made a salad like this all last week. It. was. de. lish. I also have a mild obsession with noodles, so the more “noodle-y” it is, the better for me!

    What a fun twist to use soba noodles in a summer chopped salad! I’ll have to give that a shot. Oh, and your grilled corn looks perfect! With corn like that, I totally understand why you’ve made it 378,985 times. Or was it 378,986? 🙂

    I don’t think making too much healthy food requires an intervention, Rachelle. You’d best come to my house, where the dessert bars overflow. Then you’d get the meaning of intervention!
    This looks amazing. I always want to do more with soba noodles. Now you’ve inspired me!

    This sounds so good. Lets be real, sometimes salads don’t suffice as a meal, so I like how you made this with soba noodle and a TON of veggies. The addition of roasted corn on top of all the fresh veggies sounds great!
