When I went to Japan, soba noodles were my absolute favorite meal. They were light and refreshing and something I felt like I could eat over and over and over. I’m going to be honest, when I came back to the United States, I told myself that I’ll never eat soba noodles here again because they’ll never ever compete with the ones in Japan. And I was right. But I couldn’t stay away for that long!

While nothing will ever compare to the handmade noodles I ate in Japan, these are a close second. This salad is tossed with a super light sesame-driven dressing, tossed with sliced corn kernels, fresh cherry tomatoes and a few jalapeños for some nice spice. This is the type of salad that is perfect for those hot summer nights that don’t seem to be going anywhere any time soon.
