Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Dumplings:

  • 1 package of your favorite dumplings

Crisp Mixed Greens:

  • 4 cups of romaine and spinach mix

Colorful Bell Peppers:

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced

Cucumbers:

  • 1 large cucumber, sliced

Sesame Dressing:

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dumplings: Cook your dumplings according to the package instructions or your favorite homemade recipe. Steaming or boiling are great options to keep them soft and flavorful.
  2. Chop the Vegetables: While the dumplings cook, wash and chop your vegetables. Aim for bite-sized pieces that are easy to mix and enjoy.
  3. Create the Base: In a large bowl, start with a bed of mixed greens. This will be the foundation for your Viral Dumpling Salad.
  4. Add Dumplings and Vegetables: Gently fold in the cooked dumplings with your chopped vegetables, ensuring they are evenly distributed for balanced flavor.
  5. Drizzle with Dressing: Pour the sesame dressing over the salad. Toss gently until everything is well-coated, making sure not to break the dumplings.
  6. Serve and Enjoy! Transfer the salad to a serving dish or bowls, and dive right in! Feel free to garnish with additional toppings if you like.

Notes

  • Prep Ahead: Chopping the veggies in advance can save time when you’re ready to serve.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients you can find for the best flavor and crunch.
  • Let it Chill: Chill the salad in the fridge for a bit before serving for an even more refreshing experience.
  • Customize the Dressing: Don’t hesitate to experiment with different dressings; lime vinaigrette could also be a winner.
  • Use Leftover Dumplings: This salad is an excellent way to use up leftover dumplings from previous meals.
