This is an easy light supper or lunch pasta salad. It's simple to add chicken, bacon or shrimp to make it a little heartier if you like. Thanks to Jackie for submitting this to our new church cookbook.

Overall, I thought this salad was pretty good. It's a bit different from the other Asian salads I've tried, but I liked it.

I found the dressing to be a bit too oily. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I can tone it down by using less chili sauce.

I used a store-bought dressing for this salad, and it turned out great. I'll definitely be trying the homemade dressing next time.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweet and sour dressing is perfect with the salty peanuts and crunchy vegetables.
