COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Soba, Japanese buckwheat noodles, are ideal for salads because they taste particularly great when served cold. Crunchy vegetables are highlighted here, adding lots of crisp, fresh texture. Substitute with any raw vegetables you have on hand, such as cabbage, carrot, fennel, asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower. The spicy peanut sauce is very adaptable: If you don't want to use peanut butter, you can use any nut or seed butter, like cashew, almond, sunflower or even tahini. Both the soba and the peanut sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge overnight, but wait to combine them until you are ready to eat for the best texture and consistency. The peanut sauce thickens as it sits, so add a tablespoon or two of water to loosen it up, if necessary.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the soba, stir to prevent sticking, and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cold.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
- Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
- Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
- When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful dressing, and crunchy peanuts will make all the difference in this salad.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Chop the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing in the salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Assemble the salad just before serving: This will prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs and peanuts: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Asian peanut and pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta. With its sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
