If you’re not familiar with them, soba noodeles are thin Japanese noodles made with buckwheat flour (some include wheat so be careful to get the gluten free variety). They can be found in the Asian aisle of many markets and most health food stores carry them as well because of the gluten free aspect. They’re a hearty noodle and can make a filling dish.
And just like any salad, have fun with it. We’ve made this before and tossed in cubed mango, almond slivers, goji berries, mandarins, and even peaches. Have a blast and color it up!

6-ounce package of gluten free soba noodles
