Glass Noodle Salad with Oriental Dressing


Salads are something that I personally want with my meals. it can be as simple as just an onion & tomato salad, or sometimes when in a mood, they can be anything out of the box.
Apart from making food for the house, I also make for friends, and take orders as well. 
So this time, I planned to make something from the vegetables and the produce I had at home and came up with this, healthy and simple salad.
