They are light and easy to make! You can use soba noodles or thin spaghetti, whichever you prefer!

I love cooking and baking with Florida orange juice. Did you know it was so easy to cook with? (If you missed out my orange tres leches cake…you need to check it out!)

Prep the veggies.

Boil the noodles and then parboil the veggies.

I like these noodles cold, so refrigerate the noodles and the vegetables.

What I love about this dish is that you can make it ahead! If you do make it ahead, don't add the sauce until you're ready to serve.

I can't wait for you to make this…I know you'll love it!!!
