Vietnamese Vermicelli Salad

When we went to London for my daughter, Sandy's wedding last June, we were invited to my son-in-law's uncle's home for barbeque.
This salad went very well with all the meat and it was very very refreshing.
I asked for the recipe and have tried it a couple of times already.  Very easy to do.
