Prepare your choice of noodles according to package directions.
Drain, then rinse well with cool water to stop the cooking process and to cool down the noodles for the salad. Drain well. To help keep the noodles from clumping, drizzle a little salad oil over them and mix to coat the noodles. Cold noodle clumps are seriously unappetizing.
In a large bowl, combine all of the prepped vegetables and the chicken.
Add the noodles and toss everything together.
Add the Thai Peanut Salad Dressing (recipe follows) just prior to serving or serve it on the side.
Serve the peanuts as a garnish.
