Soba Noodle Salad with Chicken and Scallions
I hate when I make the mistake of menu planning on a full stomach – I inevitably end up eating things with the word ‘salad’ in them. This is one of those dinners. I obviously decided to make it when I was feeling bad about all of the gluttony. So when 7 o’clock rolled around today and I realized that I only had the fixins for this salad, I was pretty bummed. I forged through though, and despite my negative attitude, really enjoyed this meal.
