This pasta salad is loaded with crunchy vegetables. The it sits in the fridge, the longer the flavors blend, the more the noodles soak up the dressing, and the better it all becomes. If you haven't tried buckwheat, it's a nutty whole grain that makes chewy noodles - and if you're gluten free, just be certain to check the label that there's no wheat!

The flavors and the different textures make this dish amazing. I was not a big soba eater, but I have made this dish twice in the last month and everyone loves it.
