In a Food Processor or Blender combine sugar, salt & pepper, vinegar. Pour in oil in a steady stream until all is added. Allow mixture to become translucent. Either add to salad immediately or keep in a tight fitting jar. DO NOT REFRIGERATE dressing. Shake or mix before serving.

Combine all ingredients for salad except Noodles. Mix thoroughly with dressing. Add Rice Noodles and gently toss again.
