Directions
1 - Combine all the dressing ingredients into a jar. Cover with lid securely, and shake until emulsified. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.

2 - Dice up the pineapple, celery and water chestnuts. Shred the cabbage, cut the pepper into strips, tear the spinach and thinly slice the cucumber. Set aside.

3 - In a pot, boil water. Once boiling, add the bean thread noodles, stir and immediately turn off the burner. Allow to sit 3-10 minutes, until noodles are cooked to your desired consistency (we leave for 3-4 minutes). Drain, dry and mix with a little bit of dressing to lubricate noodles to avoid clumping.

4 - Layer each ingredient on plates, pour dressing on top, and serve.
