I’m all about simple yet flavorful meals, and this Dumpling Salad has become one of my go-to dishes. It’s light, refreshing, and packed with bold flavors, making it perfect for lunch or dinner when you want something easy but satisfying. The little Asian dumplings are perfectly complemented by the crisp veggies and that tangy, spicy dressing. Plus, it’s super versatile, you can even play around with the veggies based on what you have on hand.
I personally love using mini dumplings for this, but you can go with whatever kind you prefer. Whether you boil them or make them crispy on the stovetop, they’re going to soak up that amazing dressing and bring the whole dish together. I’ll be eating this one all summer long!
