Black Sesame, Avocado and Soba Noodle Salad

Love this salad!! It's so simple and yummy, I fancied a soba noodle salad but not a spicy one like this (even if it is one of my all time favourites!) so just whipped this up. I always love the flavour combination of lime, carrot, avocado and black sesame seeds, like I use in my standard sushi recipe. Thankfully it works just as good here. Feel free to add some chopped red chilli and or ginger to the dressing, I just felt like keeping this one simple with the garlic :-)

Serves 1:
60g dry weight soba noodles
1/2 avocado, diced (about 60g)
1 small carrot cut into matchsticks (about 45g)
1 tsp black sesame seeds
1 spring onion, chopped
Dressing:
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp toasted sesame oil
juice of 1 good size wedge lime
1 small clove garlic, or half a regular clove, minced

For the dressing simply whisk everything together. Cook the soba noodles according to package directions in salted water, usually about 5 - 7 minutes. I cook mine for 7 minutes and like to add the carrots for the remaining minute just to soften them a little bit, it gives a nicer texture in this salad I think. Drain and rinse well under cold water. Soba noodles tend to hold on to a lot of water here so I like to toss them in a clean dishcloth so that the dressing doesn't get watered down. Tip into a large bowl with the avocado and pour over the dressing. Toss gently with a rubber spatula until everything is well coated. Transfer to a bowl then sprinkle over the black sesame seeds and spring onion and give a quick mix. Serve immediately.
