I never quite understood why people ate kumquats but they were staring back at me in the produce section so I decided to tackle trying to create a recipe using them. I am not a huge fan of the taste of them, alone, but mixed together with a few sweeter-variety fruits makes them somewhat irresistible.
We lived in Tokyo for 3 years and that is where we fell in love with soba noodles. The great thing about them is they are gluten free which means they will not leave you feeling over-stuffed.
This recipe can be also used by substituting rice for the soba noodles but I would recommend sticking with the noodles because they complement rather than overpower the veggies.
ENJOY!
This recipe is my twist on a traditional Panzanella Salad with the added goodness of fresh zucchini and capers.
If you are looking to make it a little “healthier” I would suggest omitting the vegan cheese but in all honesty, you may want to skip dessert instead!
ENJOY!
