How to make pulled pork salad

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!

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.
