Method
To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together and set aside until ready to use.
Cook the noodles in plenty of salted boiling water until tender. Tip into a colander and rinse under cold water. Leave in the colander to drain and cool, tossing from time to time. Tip into a large mixing bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss so that the noodles are evenly coated, then divide between 4 shallow bowls.
Combine the remaining salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the rest of the dressing and toss together gently. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking, then spoon onto the noodles and serve.
