Ingredients




2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon agave nectar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
8 ounces soba noodles
1 medium avocado, cubed
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (optional)
2/3 cup cubed ripe mango
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Preparation

1 In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lime juice, agave, oils, and salt. 2 Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions, being careful not to overcook – you want them on the firmer side. 3 Drain, then rinse very thoroughly with cold water until all traces of starchiness are gone, and drain again.  (It helps to gently swish the noodles around a bit with your hands as the water runs over them.) 4 Gently combine the noodles, dressing, avocado, jalapeno, mango, mint and scallions. 5 Serve immediately.
