​Soba Noodle Salad

Freelancing requires willpower.

Yes, I’m talking about constantly pitching and meeting deadlines without a manager giving you a timeline (Newsflash: You are the manager.) But I’m also talking about taking time away from the computer to take care of your biggest asset: yourself. After all, if we aren’t in good shape, there is no way we’ll be able to meet our income goals, right?

So, I’m sharing one of my favorite lunch recipes. It’s fast (we have work to do!) and healthy (in the yummiest way!).

What You'll Need:

• 2-3 ounces soba noodles 
• Handful of spinach, chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• 1-2 green onions, trimmed and sliced
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 lime wedge

How to Make It:
Put your water on the stove and prep the spinach, carrot, and onions while the water comes to a boil. Cook the soba noodles according to directions (should take about 3 minutes).

While the noodles are cooking, make your sauce. Combine peanut butter, sesame oil, and soy sauce.
​
Once cooked, drain and rinse noodles. Then, combine the soba noodles and your veggies. Pour your dressing over the top and toss. Then, give it a squeeze of lime.
