Ingredients
The Salad:
- 7 ounces soba noodles
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
- 1 ½ cups sliced half-circles zucchini
- 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
- 3 cups packed torn spinach leaves
The Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 2 teaspoons agave nectar or honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
The Salad:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the soba noodles, turn down the heat slightly so the water does boil over and cook until the soba noodles are just tender, about 5 minutes.
- Drain and rinse the soba noodles under cold water. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray. Add the turkey and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through. Add the turkey to the soba noodles.
- Wipe out the skillet, then heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the soba noodles and turkey.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then toss with the red pepper strips and spinach.
- Gently toss with the dressing. Serve.
