Summer Noodle Dishes Recipes

On a hot summer night, you NEED a cooling dinner, and these quick and easy noodle recipes are about to become fast family favorites. You'll find noodle salad loaded with summer vegetables, noodle bowls, and even our favorite way to enjoy ramen when it's too hot for a bowl of soup.

One of the best things about summer noodle dishes is that they're super versatile and easily customizable. Either choose your favorite speedy sumer noodle dish from the list below, or make up your own:

  1. Cook your favorite noodle – soba, udon, vermicelli!
  2. Grab the veggies in your fridge – leftover vegetables work, too!
  3. Make a tasty dressing – we have lots of salad dressings to choose from!
  4. Add some protein – leftovers work great here, too. Or fire up the grill. Or open a can of chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
