    Soak the noodles: Boil the kettle and tip the rice noodles into a heatproof bowl. Pour over boiling water to cover. Leave noodles to soak for 4 minutes.

    Whisk and toss: Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and mayonnaise, then season if you want to. Drain the noodles and return to the bowl. Throw in the sugar snaps, red pepper and basil. Pour in half the dressing and gently toss.

  • step 3

    To serve: Divide the noodles between two bowls. Slice the chicken breasts and arrange on top of the noodles. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.

RECIPE TIPS
GIVING IT A TWIST

For extra crunch, add some baby corn or bean sprouts, or, a small knob of ginger, finely grated into the dressing, will give this salad real punch.

Strange flavours with the basil. Would have been better if the ingredients were stir fried. Didn't like the dressing - too oily. Won't be making this again sorry

I liked this but my husband thought the basil was a bit strange and out of place. The dressing is lovely

Have to disagree with Liza - made half quantities for myself and the missus - both absolutely adored this. Will definitely make this again.

This was nice, not fantastic. We had to use considerably more dressing to get it the way we liked it, and we also stir fried the red peppers and sugar snap peas with some thinly sliced carrot.
