Lovely colors, very fresh and crunchy, loved the flavor combo.

Ingredients

3 Tbs. seasoned rice vinegar

1 Tbs. plus 2 tsp. fish sauce

2 medium cloves garlic, minced

1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

4 cups very thinly sliced purple cabbage (about 1/2 small head)

3 cups shredded cooked chicken (store-bought rotisserie works well)

1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Flaky sea salt

1/2 cup roasted salted cashew halves

Lime wedges, for serving

In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and fish sauce with 2 Tbs. water. Add the garlic and pepper flakes, and set aside.

In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, chicken, scallions, basil, and cilantro with the dressing. Season to taste with salt. Serve topped with the cashews and the lime wedges on the side.

I added a splash of toasted Sesame Oil in my dressing, did not use the 2 tbs. of water.
