A CBD Soba Noodle Salad Recipe for the Hot Hot Heat

There’s nothing better than a refreshing, crisp salad on a hot day. Throw in some hearty noodles, CBD-infused almond butter sauce (a twist on the more traditional peanut sauce) and you’ve got yourself a serious bowl of soba noodle salad heaven.

I like to make this salad ahead of time and let it marinate in the fridge for an even richer flavor and for the luxury of taking my infused lunch on-the-go. Get creative with the vegetables and toppings, depending on what’s available at your local farmer’s market. Think sunflower sprouts, sliced jalapeño peppers, black sesame seeds. Be sure that the CBD tincture you use is oil-based. Otherwise, it takes away from the flavor of the almond butter sauce—and that would be a terrible turn of events!
