Soba noodle salad with smoked mackerel and miso dressing

This filling soba noodle salad is full of bold flavours. Think rich mackerel, umami-packed miso and zesty ginger. Enjoy it as a lunchbox salad or healthy summer dinner.

• Why it’s so good:  Carrot gives the thick and creamy miso, ginger and sesame dressing plenty of body and an appealing orange hue. It’s fantastic with the earthy buckwheat noodles and plenty of crisp fresh vegetables.
• How to keep the vegetables crisp: Drop the lettuce, radishes and mangetout into a bowl of iced water 10 minutes before assembling the salad to rehydrate them so they’re extra crisp and juicy. 
• Take it to work: This recipe is great as a lunchbox salad. Toss the noodles with half the dressing, then pile up in a container and spoon the rest of the dressing on top. Reserve the seaweed thins to add when you eat, to keep them crisp.
