Noodle Bowl Salad

I am having a love affair with rice noodles at the moment, I could eat them all day everyday. One of my favourite recipes is Chinese Sausage with Barbecue Sauce, Noodles and Greens, Stir Fried Fish with Dill and Rice Noodles is also fantastic, and in this weather you can't beat Thai Yellow Prawn Noodle Soup. But this recipe is for cold rice noodles in a salad. It includes many of my favourite ingredients, hot smoked salmon, sugar snap peas and that lovely Asian dressing. I also added some cooked greens to the dish and it was delicious. I took this for lunch and packed the dressing in a separate pot as I find if I add it in the morning it makes everything mushy.
