Soba Noodle Salad with Ginger Peanut Dressing

Vegetarian Times Issue: September 1, 2009   p.29

Gone are the days of remixing separated peanut oil with concrete-like peanut butter. Chef and holistic health counselor in New York, Alex Jamieson also likes Maranatha Organic No Stir Peanut Butter because “the flavor is never bitter.” Try it in this soba salad—a great take-along lunch because the flavors of the peanut dressing develop over time.

Directions

1. Cook noodles in boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain, and rinse under cold running water.

2. Purée peanut butter, vinegar, agave nectar, ginger, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, and 1/4 cup cilantro in blender or food processor until smooth and creamy, adding 2 to 3 Tbs. warm water to thin, if necessary.

3. Toss together noodles, cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, and peanut butter mixture. Garnish with remaining cilantro and chopped peanuts, if using.

This recipe was absolutely delicious. I didn't have cucumber on hand and it didn't taste like it was missing a thing. This dish makes great leftovers. Very simple, very very tasty.

Great recipe, plenty of room for improvisation. Try it with different kinds of noodles. Great with a little crushed red pepper.
