Dumpling Salad

I’d been seeing the dumpling salad viral trend on my social networks for a few times now, so I decided to give it a try and put my own spin on it to see if the recipe was really worth the effort. I can tell you, it’s really delicious and so easy to make.

I used store-bought frozen dumplings and whatever vegetables I had on hand. I invite you to use the vegetables in your fridge in this salad! Peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, cabbage, radishes, avocados, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli!
