Sesame Soba Noodle Salad with Tofu

Posted on June 28, 2015 | Leave a comment

Salads are awesome.  In any shape or form.  Combining simple ingredients with a flavorful sauce or dressing is pure genius.  Today’s salad is made with Japanese soba noodles, broccoli, and tofu.  It is very simple, then you add the sauce and voila!  It’s an awesome salad.
