1/2 cups Sweet Chili Sauce
1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce

1
Make the dressing: Whisk the peanut butter, ginger, garlic, chili sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce and vinegar together in a small bowl. Taste and add more vinegar or fish sauce for additional tang/salt to your preference. Drizzle in chili oil to your taste-I start with about 1 teaspoon and add a bit more depending on the taste of people I'm serving; it's spicy stuff!
2
Assemble the salad: Evenly layer lettuce, cabbage, scallions, carrot strips and cashews in bowls. This can be done ahead of time.
3
Right before serving, halve and cube the avocados. Add 1/2 of an avocado to each salad, and drizzle with dressing.
4
Top with hot sauce, lime juice, and cilantro leaves, if desired.
5
Yum!
6
Note: This can easily be made vegan by eliminating the fish sauce from the dressing and adding an extra dash of soy sauce.
