Sesame-Ginger Soba Noodle Salad Is an Outdoor Entertaining Superstar

Say hello to my go-to picnic and backyard barbecue dish: sesame-ginger soba noodle salad.

Say hello to my go-to picnic and backyard barbecue dish: sesame-ginger soba noodle salad. Vibrantly flavored, full of crisp vegetables, and best served at room temperature — I'd argue it's actually tastier the second day — this noodle dish is perfectly tailored for outdoor entertaining (and is a standout brown-bag lunch option as well for similar reasons).

Don't be put off by the laundry list of ingredients; many are pantry staples or easy to source — try an Asian grocer or Amazon, or even sub sriracha for the chili oil if your supermarket doesn't stock it — and the actual prep for the salad is breezy, to say the least.

Get the recipe and toss together a heaping bowl of soba noodle salad.

For some of us summer reading means chick lit or memoirs, but for me it means cookbooks and food adventures. In fact, I believe that some cookbooks are actually worth crawling into bed with! That's why, for the entire month of August, we'll spotlight a cookbook or food related book each day.

Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison (of Greens fame) is one of those books that really is for everyone - even the most avid meat eater can find something useful and interesting in this book. It's laid out alphabetically, is often called the vegetarian Joy of Cooking, and the recipes are clear, concise and easy to follow. This book makes for an amazing house-warming gift, but personally I think it's worth it just for the veggie tortilla soup...
