This is a super easy and quick way to have a filling salad with a minimal amount of work. Frozen dumplings are great to have around. As a snack, throw into a soup broth, or in a stir fry. This is a fun salad to take to work too. Just dress it before you eat. You can make your own potstickers or use any premade kind that you like. Vegetarian, chicken or shrimp are all good choices. Ponzu sauce is a citrusy soy-based dipping sauce that can be found in well-stocked grocery stores or Asian markets.
