"This is a super-easy pulled chicken Asian-style salad with Napa, carrots, sweet peppers, crispy wonton strips and a sweet and spicy dressing," says Rach. It comes together really quickly, in part because she uses rotisserie chicken, and also holds up well if you make it in advance; just add the dressing and toppings before serving.
Pro Tip from Rach: When shopping for Napa cabbage, pick one that's nice and heavy, feels really firm and doesn't have any scarring or marks on the outer leaves.

- 2 carrots, thin julienne
- 1 red bell or mild pepper, thin julienne
- 1 bunch of large scallions, sliced on bias
- 1 rotisserie chicken, meat removed from bones and pulled or shredded into bite-size pieces
