How to make pulled pork salad

This BBQ pulled pork salad is super easy to put together if you already have your pulled pork made!

Step 1: Make the coleslaw

Mix well the EVOO with lime juice, ground pepper and salt. Add the cabbage and carrot to a large mixing bowl, and pour the dressing. Combine well.

Step 2: Plate the salad

Add a base of coleslaw to a salad plate. Put a generous amount of pulled pork, slices of avocado and pickles. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and fresh coriander on top. Enjoy!

Hint: be generous with the amount of pulled pork, as it's the main protein source of this salad!

Equipment

All you need to make this salad is...

• Sharp knife
• Chopping board
• Large mixing bowl
• Teaspoon & tablespoon measurer (optional)

Storage

Leftover salad? Happy days! Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days (if the pulled pork is fresh).

You will probably end up with quite a bit of leftover coleslaw. I find it's a very handy salad base to have already made. You can use it to make other dishes like this pulled pork rice bowl, or pulled pork tacos.

FAQ

Pulled Pork Salad Variations & Mix Ins:

Looking to spice up your Pulled Pork Salad? Here are some variations and mix-ins that will take your salad game to the next level! Each of these ingredients adds its unique flavor and texture, so feel free to experiment and find your perfect combination.

1. BBQ Sauce Twist: Drizzle some BBQ sauce over your salad for a smoky, tangy flavor.
2. Ranch Fusion: Blend in some BBQ ranch dressing for a creamy, savory twist. This pairs exceptionally well with the crunchiness of the coleslaw and the softness of the avocado. Note: adding bbq ranch would make your salad no longer a dairy free option.
3. Green Onion for a Kick: Sprinkle chopped green onions for a sharp, fresh taste. They add a nice color contrast and a burst of freshness.
4. Sweet Corn Addition: Throw in some sweet corn kernels for a sweet, juicy crunch. This adds a pop of sweetness that complements the savory pork and tangy pickles.
5. Black Beans for Extra Protein: Mix in black beans for additional protein and fiber. They add a hearty element to the salad, making it even more satisfying.
6. Romain Lettuce and Tomatos: Add chopped tomatoes for a juicy, tangy flavor. Mix in some chopped romaine for a refreshing crunch and a bed of greens that absorb the flavors beautifully.
7. Salsa for a Zesty Touch: Spoon in some salsa for a zesty, spicy element. This works especially well if you love a bit of heat in your salads.
8. Hearty Rice Mix: For a more filling salad, mix in some cooked rice. It makes the salad more substantial, perfect for a full meal.
9. Corn Chips for Crunch: Crush some corn chips over the top for an added crunch and a fun twist.
