i first had this amazing medley at clementines in century city (one of my fave places in la). this salad includes 3 main ingredients: soba (super good-for-you, antioxidant-rich, gluten-free japanese buckwheat noodles), edamame (young soybeans that are super rich in antioxidants and fiber) and salmon (also very good for you!). the dressing is super delicious with a yummy tartness, perfect for the summer. this recipe is a MUST TRY!!!!!
ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- lemon wedges (1 for dressing and a couple for the salmon)
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon finely minced shallots
- 3 green onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce
- 6 oz soba noodles
- 1/2 pound salmon fillets
- 1 12oz bag of frozen shelled edamame
directions:
- boil a pot of water and cook the soba noodles until al dente; rinse over cold water, drain and set aside
- boil another pot of water and cook the edamame for 4 minutes; rinse over cold water, drain and set aside
- grill the salmon until cooked through; squeeze a lemon wedge over salmon fillets
- remove the skin off the salmon fillets; set aside
- in a super large bowl, mix the rice vinegar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, honey, juice of 1 lemon wedge, salt, pepper, carrots, shallots, green onion, cilantro, sriracha and soy sauce
- add soba noodles and edamame to the bowl
- fork apart the salmon into pieces; add to bowl
