Servings          
Original recipe makes 4
1 cNo-oil Italian dressing; or Vinaigrette
Lettuce
2 cred bell Peppers; Thinly sliced (I chopped them into Chunks )
2 ozDry cellophane noodles; or bean Thread noodles
2 cCucumbers; Peeled, seeded, and sliced
1 tbbasil; Freshly minced
1 tbcilantro; Freshly miced
1/8 tsRed hot chili flakes; (I made My own from dried chilis)

Marinated Cucumber and Red Bell Pepper Salad Preparation

Drop the noodles into boiling water until done (length of time depends on type; read the label). Drain. Toss all ingredients together and marinate for at least 1 hour. Serve on a bed of lettuce. Other tips: I used 3.5 oz of noodles, and less dressing. The chili makes it hot so if you dont like spicy, it would be fine to leave it out. You may want to break the noodles a little before cooking (but not too much). I made the mistake of not breaking them and ended up having to cut them a little in order to get my ingredients to combine properly. This salad is even better the next day. I imagine it travels nicely because it isnt too soupy. For those who care: 1C: 84 Cal. .5 g total fat trace saturated fat 0 mg cholesterol From Ornishs "Program for Reversing Heart Disease".
