Asian Soba Noodle Salad with Tuna

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Asian Tuna and Soba Noodle Salad is THE salad to make when you’re sick of eating lettuce. Cold, refreshing, travels great and make the perfect lunch on the go. 

Salad is always my first instinct. When I’m out to eat I generally go for salad. When I’m meal planning for the week, there’s always a salad in play. 

What can I say? I like to keep things light. 

It’s not that I ONLY eat salad, it’s more like a base for every meal. I add meat, beans, fish….pretty much anything, but it’s good to start with some greens. 

All that said, sometimes even I get bored of salad. It’s very easy to get stuck in a salad rut. Leafy greens aren’t exactly the most inspiring things ever, so occasionally you need to reinvent things. 

I’ll let you in on a little secret. A cold soba noodle salad is dang tasty. 

Soba noodles are like a sister to leafy greens; an awesome base for everything. This particular noodle salad became my lunch for several days, and those were fantastically delicious days. 

 

Asian Soba Noodle Salad with Tuna

Crisp, fresh vegetables, and heart-healthy tuna makes this dish a nutrient bomb. Soba noodles themselves are a good source of protein and fiber, not to mention being gluten-free. When you add in the antioxidant rich veggies and omega 3s from the tuna, you’re bound to feel great and focused all the workday long. 

Because this is a cold salad, it makes a great lunch on the go. It packs and travels great and the flavors get even better with time. 

Next time you’re in a salad rut, I hope you remember what I said, soba noodles for the win! Give this asian soba noodle salad with tuna a try and report back to me on your finding. I bet it will make it into your regular salad rotation. 

If you give this recipe a try, I’d love to see it! Tag me @betsylife on Facebook or Instagram and I’ll share your creations!

    Towari soba-making machine consistently produces pure buckwheat noodles as good as those made by the hands of seasoned experts. When I’m out to eat I generally go for salad. When I’m meal planning for the week, there’s always a salad in towari-soba salad noodles.
