Potsticker Salad

This incredibly delicious and easy potsticker salad recipe is brimming with umami flavor and freshness with crisp cucumbers, sweet peppers, creamy avocado, and crunchy cabbage, topped with mini potstickers and tossed in a sesame-soy vinaigrette. 

I’ve finally made the viral potsticker salad recipe I’ve seen online for a while, from a recipe I found on Gimme Some Oven.  To keep it simple, I used frozen mini pork potstickers, but you can also make homemade potstickers if you’d prefer. We loved the combination of flavors and textures in this loaded potsticker salad and thought it was a terrific lunch.

How to Make a Potsticker Salad

Prepare the soy-sesame vinaigrette by combining the avocado oil, soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and sugar in a small glass jar. Seal with a lid and shake well; set aside to allow the flavors to mingle.

Cook the frozen mini potstickers by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Prepare per the package instructions and set aside until needed.

Prepare the salad by combining the coleslaw, cilantro, cucumbers, bell peppers, green onions, avocados, red onion, almonds, and crispy wontons in a large bowl.

Serve the salad by adding the cooled potstickers to the salad, then drizzle some of the well-shaken soy-sesame vinaigrette to taste; toss to coat evenly. Top with black and toasted sesame seeds if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy.
