Pork Salad - 2 stars


i think i need to find a way to better photograph my salads. this looks gross - and it was actually very tasty, only a couple complaints. i also probably need to come up with some tastier-sounding names. pork salad? uh..... doesn't sound too tasty to me.

this was a day when my dinner was simply a salad. it was a combo of baby romaine & spinach, topped with sliced pork (leftover peri peri rubbed pork from previous post), avocado, red onion slivers, garbanzo beans, mandarin orange, sliced tomato, croutons and a mandarin sesame dressing, i believe. oh, and i see some pomegranate seeds in there. everything but the pork was very good. seared pork butt is great when it's hot, not so great when it's cold. it's too fatty, and when it's cold, the fat congeals. and congealed fat does not make for a good salad. use only lean cuts of meat if you're using leftover cooked protein in your salad.

two stars.

You are right- the cold pork wasn't quite right for a salad, and the peri peri rub didn't work so well with the dressing. Three stars from the foodee!
