non-traditional pasta salad

So it's the time of year to experiment with pasta salad. Up now: Soba Noodle Salad. Some firsts for me--I've never had soba noodles before, so the cooking method and texture were new experiences. I also don't really eat raw red pepper strips--cooked, sure, all the time--so I wasn't sure if I would like it. I should also mention here that it can be tricky to measure half a cup of julienned red bell pepper and snow peas; you'd be better off just cutting up the amount that you prefer. I, for one, could've used more. Overall it had a good flavor and did what I intended, which was to complement our teriyaki pineapple turkey burgers. Now I'll be looking for other uses for soba noodles.
