Asian Herb Salad

I adapted a recipe from the December 2011 Australian Womens Weekly for this really light and refreshing Asian herb salad.  The original recipe had wild rice in it, but I didn't want anything that heavy. If you want to add it add 100g wild rice (uncooked weight) Give it a go, I will definitely be serving this one up again! 

Asian Herb Salad 
1 medium red capsicum julienned
150g snow peas thinly sliced
