Kale Avocado Soba Noodle Salad

Soba noodles are made out of buckwheat and can be served cold in salads such as this one with kale. After the noodles are cooked, they are mixed with Japanese prepared seaweed salad, which you can find at any Asian market. It adds a brinyness to the noodles. The dressing’s base is made out of rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and white miso paste, which is a fermented soy bean. It has a savory/salty taste cut with acidity of the white wine vinegar. This kale soba noodle salad is topped with avocado, bean sprouts, cilantro, sesame seeds, and more miso dressing.
