OK, this one requires a bit of heat initially, but it's well worth it... Plus, you can boil the noodles at night and then toss the salad together in the morning for a tote-to-work lunch or the next evening for a cool dinner.
Boil one package RICE NOODLES according to package directions. Drain noodles and pop into fridge. Slice half a CUCUMBER and half a head of ICEBERG LETTUCE. Chop some CILANTRO and toss with cucumber and lettuce. Mix together enough SOY SAUCE and PLUM SAUCE (depending upon how sweet and/or salty you like it) to lightly coat cucumber mixture. Toss with chilled noodles. Salad is excellent with a crisp Pinot Grigio and an A/C unit.
If you feel the need for a bit of protein, cube some cold tofu and mix in the sauces before topping cucumber and lettuce. I also like to add a bit of sliced red pepper and a dash of Tabasco or chili sauce if I'm in the mood for some spice.
