Soba noodles, made from buckwheat, have a nutty, earthy flavor and robust texture. They make for a sturdy base in this tropical noodle bowl, which features tangy pineapple, creamy avocado, sweet papaya, and a spicy citrus dressing that soaks into the chewy noodles. Edamame beans add extra heft while a garnish of fresh basil ties everything together with the perfect herbal kick. This soba noodle bowl tastes absolutely divine when served chilled, and is the perfect meal for a grab-and-go lunch to ensure you have something filling and refreshing to keep you fueled up for the rest of your day.
