Metric Jester's Crunchie Salad

I got this recipe from my girlfriend's cousin who makes it every time we go to her house. We love it, kids love it and our parents love it. There's never any enough and we run out of it before everybody gets some. You can heat the noodles and the dressing on the same stove at the same time so cook time is very short, but you have to wait for everything to cool before tossing it together.
