Great salad. The dressing worked very well and I'm sure I'll make again.<br />I'd do a couple tweaks next time. Rinse the noodles under cold water after cooking since they stuck together too much. I'd also omit the peanut oil from the dressing. Seemed a bit oily and the sesame oil and the oil on the noodles would be plenty I'd think.<br />Very easy and quick to make.
