Prepare Vegetables: Slice the celery, carrot, and red onion into thin strips.
Boil Soba Noodles: Boil water in a pot and cook soba noodles according to package instructions and drain.
Make the Dressing: Put all the dressing ingredients in a small bottle, put the lid on, and shake to blend.
Combine: Put together the sliced vegetables, cooked soba noodles, and dressing in a bowl, gently combining them.
Notes
Make sure to follow the package instructions for cooking the soba noodles. Overcooking can lead to a mushy texture.
After boiling soba noodles, rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. This helps prevent them from sticking together and maintains their firm texture.
For the best flavor and texture, just wait to add the dressing until right before serving.
This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before serving.
