This easy chilled noodle salad is the perfect light meal to devour on a hot day. If you like, you can substitute soba or brown rice noodles for the glass noodles to add a nutty flavor to the dish. Regardless of which noodles you choose, the crisp bite of the refreshing cucumber rounds will always be the star of the show. Tangy brown rice vinegar and crunchy sesame seeds complement the cool veggie slices, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley adds an aromatic finish. Pair this dish with a side of spring rolls or marinated silken tofu to create an epic summertime feast that will help you beat the heat.
