Asian Shrimp Noodle Salad image

This is the easiest of salads to prepare and it's healthy too with lots of fresh veggies and no oil. I think it tastes best if you let it marinate in the dressing for an hour or so but you can serve it right away as well. If you like a bit of kick, add some chopped hot chili peppers.
