    Summery Soba Noodle bowls packed with fresh vegetables and fruit. This is a light and refreshing lunch for the warmer seasons.


    The first time I tried soba noodles was in a Japanese restaurant with my family. The noodles were served to us cold and with a dipping sauce. It was such a weird experience as we were used to hot and saucy noodles like spaghetti bolognaise or alfredo.

    Since it's summer, it's the perfect time to embrace cooler foods such as soba noodles. They are light, refreshing and are healthy... everything I want for summer.

    I paired the noodles with summery fruits such as juicy mango and nectarine pieces. I've been really busy recently and haven't been eating well so I wanted to add as many vegetables as possible into this dish. To complement the soft noodles, I added some crunchy sugar snap peas and corn kernels.

    If you don't have a spiraliser, you can make the zoodles with a mandolin slicer. Note that using a mandolin slicer will take a little longer and your noodles will be straight rather than curly! Alternatively, you can use a grater which will turn your zuchinni into little pieces. Orrr... you can just skip the zoodles and stick with the soba noodles!

    The creamy avocado and zesty sauce brought some subtle richness to the noodles and made the dish so satiating. Healthy food doesn't have to be bland and boring - just remember to add lots of flavour to it!

      I made this today and left out the mango but added some savoy cabbage slides. It turned out really well. I did modify the sauce to add a few sprinkles of salt and garlic powder, plus a small dollop of maple syrup. I also added the zucchini noodles and snap peas on top of the boiling noodles in the last minute just to get them a little softer. I didn't want them fully raw in my dish. Overall, it was a good flavor and really simple to put together. Took about 20 minutes from start to finish. I will save it to make again. Next time I will allow the soba noodles to cool more before pulling things together as they were too hot. This might also be good with some bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
