Living in Los Angeles, it's always either summer or fall weather. We may never experience snow or leaves changing colors but on the plus side, cherry tomatoes are accessible year-round as well as avocados and even strawberries. However, these fruits and vegetables taste infinitely better when it is harvesting time. Today, I'm taking full advantage of the bountiful vegetables we have with summer quickly approaching. Introducing miso lime summer soba noodles: a healthy meal that comes together quickly and still makes you go, "mmm! That is GOOD!"

**Helpful tips and common mistakes

These miso lime summer soba noodles are easy to toss together and can easily be substituted to fit what's in season. If you're making this in the summer, bell peppers, zucchini, summer squash, and cherry tomatoes are great. However, if you're craving this in the fall or winter, use what's available. Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and asparagus would all work wonderfully.

The highlight of this dish for me is the miso lime sauce. There are many different types of miso including white miso, yellow, red, barley, and soybean miso, all aged at different lengths. Since we are looking for subtle flavors, white miso is the best way to go.

Cook the soba noodles and drain them. Shock the noodles in cold water to stop them from cooking and toss them with sesame oil. The oil will prevent the noodles from clumping together. Set the noodles aside while you prepare the rest of the dish.
