Noodle and Berry-Cherry Salad With Mango-Yogurt Dressing

With the temperature soaring I am looking for ways to keep myself cool and spend as less time in the kitchen as possible.This is a very filling salad that is a cinch to make. I had some berries that were about to die on me. So this is what I came up with and this doesn't require you to sweat in the kitchen at all.
Ingredients:
  • Rice Noodles - 2 cups, cooked
  • Sweetened Mango Pulp - 2/3 cup
  • Honey - 1 tbsp
  • Sugar - 1 tsp or more (Optional)
  • Thick Yogurt - 1/2 cup
  • Mixed Berries(Raspberry, Blueberry, Strawberry) - 1/2 cup, chopped
  • Cherry - 1/8 cup, chopped
Procedure:
  • In a bowl, whip the Yogurt,Sweetened Mango Pulp along with honey.Set aside.
  • In a serving bowl, add a portion of the cooked and fluffed rice noodles.
  • Pour the Mango-Yogurt dressing on tip.
  • Top with chopped berries and cherries. 
  • Serve immediately.
Makes 2 Servings.

Note:
  • Right way to cook the rice noodles -  Bring plenty of water to a roiling boil in a stock pot/pasta pot. Switch off stove. Add the noodles to the hot water and let it cook for ~5 minutes. Drain it in a colander and fluff it with a fork.
Enjoy!
