A simple vinaigrette of rice vinegar, fish sauce, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes really livens up this Asian-inspired salad.  With a base of thinly sliced, crunchy red cabbage and sliced scallions, I decided to also add in some matchstick carrots and peppery watercress greens for extra nutrition and color.  Shredded rotisserie chicken make the salad super simple to assemble, as do store-bought roasted cashews for an undeniably buttery crunch.  Serve this crunchy chicken and cabbage salad with lime wedges for a last minute squeeze of fresh citrusy magic, and a quick mix-in of fresh basil and fresh cilantro leaves.
