It is my favorite fruit and I can never get enough of it. While I like to eat it just as it is, we occasionally make luscious treats out of it. The treats are mostly sweet and then some of them are savory too, like this soba noodle with mango salad.

Tried and tasted multiple times since 2013!

I had prepared a similar soba noodle salad several years back in 2013, and had put it up on Instagram. And then I finally shared it here in 2016. Today, I decided to give it an uplift with better photos. Same recipe, same taste!

You can try the same salad using green mangoes too and that is what I use when I have shared a photo in my Instagram account several years back.

Soba Noodles are Japanese buckwheat noodles, which was super thin and hence cooks in just 4 minutes. The flavor is nutty, and the color is gorgeous.

The nutty flavor of soba noodles, paired with crunchy cucumber and sweet mango, blends quite beautifully with the salty spicy tangy dressing. Every spoonful gives you a fusion of texture and a balance of smack.
