To start, cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling water. Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Next, in a large serving bowl, combine the cooked soba noodles, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.

Garnish the salad with freshly chopped parsley before serving. This Mediterranean Soba Noodle Salad is best enjoyed chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 700g, with 4 servings at 175g each. Each serving is roughly 300 calories.
