Thinking beyond the lunchbox sandwich, this sesame soba noodle salad is a refreshing alternative side with a nice source of protein and some complex carbs! Tiny diced rainbow peppers and carrots add a pop of color to a dish that shines with sweet sesame flavor! We had purple bell peppers growing in our garden this summer so tossed them in this dish, but this side is so versatile you can even swap out for other veggies you love or add in fun additions like tofu or edamame. Get creative for a dish that works as well for a summer party as it does for a back to school lunch option!
