You’ll always find dumplings in my freezer! It is one of the easiest lunch or dinner items to make. I came up with this yummy idea to make an asian inspired slaw using dumplings as a D to the LISH addition. It was sooo good. I used mini cilantro chicken dumplings in the salad with broccoli slaw as a base. I shook up a Thai inspired peanut dressing to toss in. It was perfection with the crunch of the red pepper and snap pea additions. This salad is for sure to be on repeat in my house! It’s fresh and filling, just how I like my salads!
