Preheat the broiler in your oven to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place the red and yellow bell peppers on the baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Remove the roasted peppers from the oven, place them in a heatproof bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for 5 minutes.
Peel the skin off the peppers, remove the seeds, and cut them into thin strips. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the frozen pot stickers and cook according to the package instructions until golden and crispy on the bottom.
While the pot stickers are cooking, prepare the sesame-ginger dressing by whisking together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated fresh ginger, and honey in a small bowl.
Thinly slice the green onion and set aside for garnish.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted pepper strips, and half of the sesame-ginger dressing. Toss gently to coat.
Arrange the crispy pot stickers on top of the salad and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
Sprinkle the salad with sliced green onion and sesame seeds, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful fusion salad!
