I am all about easy and simple when it comes to cooking and entertaining in the summertime. I love quick and effortless pasta salads and dishes that work well not only as a light and healthy lunch idea, but also as a flavorful, make-ahead side dish for a backyard BBQ or a summer potluck. The Spicy Almond Cold Soba Noodle Salad recipe I am sharing with you all today easily meets the requirements for both. 


Seriously, you all. This recipe comes together in just 15 minutes and can be easily doubled or quadrupled. And thanks to Roland® Organic Soba Noodles and RECIPE 33 Infused Almonds, this cold noodle salad recipe is packed with flavor and amazing textures. 





Before I share the actual recipe with you all, let me tell you guys about a few of the products I am loving this summer for cooking and entertaining...

So this weekend is it, folks- the last big hoorah of summertime. Labor Day weekend has always been that unofficial marker of when late summer gives way to early fall. 





We all gear up for our last 3 day weekend of the summer & enjoy those final couple of days to splash around at the local pool, to gather for a family BBQ, & to say goodbye to long summer days.... at least until next year. ;)





Honestly, I am always conflicted at this time of the year. A part of me hates to see summer end, but another part of me is ready for all things fall. 





In fact, I have a small confession to make to you all- I bought & ate a pumpkin pie blizzard yesterday (Gasp! Please tell me I am not the only one who has already broke down & did that, right? Right?). 





But I am also still whipping up summer-worthy salads like this tasty Basil BLT Panzanella Salad recipe that I am sharing with you all today...
