Roast Vegetable and Soba Noodle Salad

HERE'S HOW WE MAKE IT

Roasting vegetables - here diced eggplant and carrot, tossed with honey and fennel seeds - gives them a golden, caramelised sweetness that makes them the stars of this salad. The dressing is a Japanese-inspired mixture of rice vinegar and soy sauce with a bit of ginger and a little buzz of wasabi. The salad will come to you with all the elements cooked but undressed, waiting for final assembly by you, the lucky diner.
