Preparation

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and half the garlic salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
To the boiling water, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.

To a small pot, add cabbage, vinegar, 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high.
Once simmering, cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat. Transfer cabbage, including pickling liquid, to a large bowl. Place in the fridge to cool.

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
When hot, add cashews to the dry pan. Toast for 2-3 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
While cashews toast, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper.
Transfer cashews to a plate to cool.

Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook 1-2 min per side, until golden.
Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven for 8-12 min, until cooked through.**
While chicken cooks, roughly chop cilantro.
Peel clementines, then separate into segments.
Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1-4-inch thick slices. Season with salt and pepper.

To a medium bowl, add ginger sauce, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) pickling liquid and 1/2 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Whisk to combine. (This is your tangy ginger sauce.)
Drain and discard remaining liquid from cabbage.
To the bowl of cabbage, add spring mix, clementines, toasted cashews and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) ginger sauce. Toss to coat.
Fuff rice with a fork. Stir in half the sesame seeds.
