Cold Soba Noodle Salad with Sesame Ginger Dressing

In the heat of the summer, meals that require preheating the oven take a backseat to dishes like this cold soba noodle salad. Soba noodles are made with buckwheat flour, which contains more protein than other grains and includes micronutrients like iron and calcium. Add tofu or shrimp for extra protein or keep the recipe as is for a vegan midweek meal.  Get ready to cut dinner prep time in half, stay cool, and serve a meal that’s beyond refreshing!

As a bonus, a batch of this tuna salad could easily double as meal prep for weekday lunches – just wait to add the avocado until ready to serve.
