Soba noodle salad with beet & chimichurri sauce

I love summer so much—in my family, we call it unicorn season—that I felt like making a pink salad, just because it makes me happy to cook and eat something pink (don’t ask!).
That’s probably the most insightful intro in Three Times a Day history, right?
On that note, I suggest you make a triple batch of the sauce and use the extra as a marinade (which won’t be pink, but will still be delicious!).
