This Vegan Soba Noodle Salad can be served cold or at room temperature. It’s a quick noodle dish that is portable for healthy work day lunches. Soba noodles are coasted with a creamy cashew sauce then topped with crisp, raw vegetables and cilantro. Extra toasted cashews are added to the top for that extra crunch!

Yesterday I planted all my vegetable seeds indoors in seed starting pots. Each year I pick a new variety of vegetable to grow – this year it’s the Pink Boar tomato – pinkish with metallic green stripes. Besides the April snowstorm we got last night, spring is alive and well (at least inside my house).

Once my garden is underway and I have fresh herbs and vegetables on hand, this cold soba noodle salad is perfect for lunch! Packed with red bell pepper, cucumbers, carrots and pea pods, it’s a noodle salad that satisfies that creamy noodle craving in a super healthy way!

The creamy sauce coats the soba noodles and the fresh veggies and herbs bring the crunch and brightness. Top your bowls with toasted cashews for extra crunch and texture right before eating.
