This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover broccoli and carrots and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still very flavorful without it.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili pepper.

I'm not usually a fan of glass noodles, but I really enjoyed them in this salad. They had a great texture and soaked up the dressing really well.
