Thanks for joining Sarah and I for Meatless Monday today! I don’t know how the weather is by you but it’s just been crazy hot and humid here in the DC area the past two weeks. These are the kind of days that I do not want to be in my kitchen cooking for sure however, I still want to eat something healthy and yummy. Dilemma solved with this Cucumber Soba Noodle Salad.
I’ve mentioned before how I love to cook meals that I can enjoy for a few days. This Cucumber Soba Noodle Salad does the trick. It’s so easy to make and then enjoy for lunch the next few days or as a side to a dinner.
I have a mix of soba noodles and spiralized cucumbers that blend so well together. You do have a spiralizer right? (Affiliate link) If not, no worries, you could also julienne them but you would not have the noodle like appearance to blend in with the soba noodles. Adding edamame and a light dressing of sesame oil and rice vinegar creates just the right amount of flavor and protein.

Looks so yummy and refreshing!
Thanks! Have a great Monday
Love soba noodles! And cucumber and sesame are perfect for a hot day. I think we just eat more chips and guacamole when it is hot out! At least, we are this summer!
Ha you can never go wrong with chips and guac!
Yum! This looks like a perfect salad for Summer, thanks for hosting!!
Thanks so much! Too hot to eat hot food
These look so tasty! I’ve been eating a lot of zuchini noodles lately because it’s been so hot. I haven’t tried making cucumber noodles before so that will be the next on my list. 🙂
Oh great hope you enjoy!
This noodle salad looks amazing! Perfect for summer!
Thanks I agree!
I love my spiralizer!! Your dish looks so yummy.
What did we do before they were invented?!
I have a cucumber from my garden that had this all over it! What a yummy combination of flavors and I really liked that your spiralized cucumber.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy too!
This certainly looks like the perfect summer time meal. Although, I have not tried buckwheat soba noodles but they look so tasty in your pictures.
They are great and don’t have a strong flavor. Hope you check them out
This looks like a great Summer meal! We’ve definitely been looking for cooler things to eat in the Summer so I’ll have to add this to my list.
Thanks so much!
Yum! I would wanna try this with zucchini noodles! <3
That will work too!
oooo This looks delicious! I haven’t had asian flavors in a while.
Thanks! Enjoy
These noodles look divine! Totally my style!! Need to try this
Thanks so much!
I feel like the only person left on earth who hasn’t used a spiralizer! My sister has one and swears by it. I will put it on my Christmas list 😉
I don’t think you can wait that long!! LOL
I’ve never had Soba noodles! You’ve got me intrigued. I’ll definitely have to give them a try!
You will love ’em 🙂
This looks perfect for summertime!!! I am so making this tomorrow.
Oh great enjoy!
Such a delicious looking recipe Deb!
Thanks friend!
Yum!!! that salad sounds so good! I love soba noodles!
Me too! I forget to use them more often
This sounds and looks so good! I live by my spiralizer (and by Sriracha, haha) so this is a perfect summer recipe.
OH great enjoy!
This looks so good Deborah! I can’t wait to be back in the kitchen, this will definitely be on the menu when we get back! Happy Meatless Monday!
I hope you all enjoy it! Have a great rest of your vacation
That looks so good and I bet I would even like it warm 🙂
I do love a hot meal even in summer. I can do a light breakfast and salad lunch but my dinner I need cooked food!
I like it for lunch after a long run hope you enjoy
I am so excited you posted this…my cucumber plants in my gardne EXPLODED this weekend…and I’ve never tried soba noodles so this is a perfect way to use them and try a new ingredient!
Oh yes for sure! Enjoy it
This does look lovely! And thanks for the idea to try it with rice noodles for those of us who need g-f. Great idea.
wonderful I hope it works it for you!
Ooh, I want to try these. My husband is always wanting me to cook more pasta and I’m ready for a change from the usual.
I think you will both like it! I thought about adding tempeh also.
Sounds so tasty. I do not have a spiralizers. I need to get one ASAP.
Oh my yes you do!
Oh that sounds so perfect for an easy summer dinner!
Super easy!
I’m going to make this for dinner. But I don’t like edamame, so I’ll substitute snow peas for that. Sounds absolutely perfect for this hot weather!
That would be great too! Since you are not a veg, you could really top it with any other protein source as well. Hope you enjoy
Some of my favorite flavors! This looks delicious!
mine too! thanks
we go a lot of grilling in the summer so as to not cook in the house. that noodle dish looks delicious!!
Thanks so much would be perfect side for a grilling night
This sounds amazing!
Thanks so much!
This is a perfect summer dish. Cucumber makes anything taste fresh a summer-y 🙂
I love cucumbers!
I’m coming over for lunch! This looks amazing!
OH good at least someone saw that!
That sounds so light and easy – perfect!
Thanks! Very easy
That looks incredibly light and refreshing! This will be on the menu at our next BBQ for sure!
fabulous! Enjoy
hmmmm…..I’m not much of a cuke eater,but I’m trying to open my mind 😉 I see so many recipes for cucumbers with plain vinegar…I bet the rice vinegar is much lighter ? This looks appealing, and the sesame seeds probably give it a bit of crunch. I just might have to give this a try 😉
Ok now you have to try it!
I don’t think I’ve ever had soba noodles, but this looks really good!
They are light and great for summer.
My crappy spiralizer broke when I tried making spiralized sweet potatoes 🙁 so I need a new one!! This looks delicious and refreshing.
Oh no!! Yes you do it’s amazon prime day I say go for it!
I love soba noodles and your recipe looks super delicious, Deborah! I would love to have this for dinner!
Thanks so much Ilka!
Looks amazing, this is my kind of summer cooking!
I’ve never heard of Soba Noodles before, I seriously have learned about so many different new foods from you!
LOL! I am so glad!
Yum! This looks like the perfect summer dish! I am all about salads and cold foods in the summertime but I still need carbs so this is my kinda salad 😛
Exactly! Thanks
I’m not sure why I’ve never spiralized a cucumber… such a good idea! We love anything asian-inspired.
I think the cucumber takes very well to the Asian spices. Hope you like it!
Love the mix of noodles.
Thanks so much Jill!
I love quick noodle dishes. The dressing ingredients in this would make a great staple dressing for lots of veggies!
Absolutely! thanks
I may have to try this. My husband loves cool salads like this during the summer!
Great hope you both enjoy it
Can I come to your house for lunch? This sounds delicious!
anytime!! Seriously you should come over this summer and cook with me
I love soba noodles! And this salad looks perfect for summer.
Thanks so much! I will be making them again soon
Ohhh my goodness. This is what my life is missing. I’m for sure pinning this STAT because this sounds like heaven. I’ve been trying to avoid hot foods because it’s so hot here in San Diego, and this sounds perfect!
It’s perfect for a hot day! Hope you enjoy
I’ve never tried making Soba noodles at home! Thanks for linking up to Best of Blogs tweeted for you.
Oh they are so easy and yummy you would love them
OMG YUM. Our cucumber crop from the garden has been exploding! We’ve been using most of it to make pickles, but I should totally keep a cuke or two for myself & spiralize them! I love that this would taste good cool too & up my veggie content!

Thanks for stopping by and yes a great way to use up the cucumbers! I do love pickles too though 🙂
