I loved the bell pepper in this as it gave a fresh change to the usual noodle salads. The dressing was a nice combination of tart/sweet and was great with a drizzling of sambal oelek, although sriracha sauce would serve quite well also. I definitely would recommend this salad to anyone looking for a new noodle salad recipe to try. Thanks for sharing. Reviewed for PAC Spring 2009
