This soba noodle salad is wholesome and addictive. It’s studded with garden-fresh ingredients and laced with a citrusy soy and tahini dressing for a nutrient-rich, one-bowl meal. The main ingredient, of course, is the noodles.

Soba noodles are a variety of Japanese noodles traditionally composed of buckwheat and water. (Some soba noodle products may also contain wheat flour, but the principal flour should always be buckwheat.) When cooked, soba noodles are delicious simply eaten on their own with a dipping sauce, slurped in soups and stir-fries, or swirled into cold noodle salads.
