I really do like pork a lot! So I’m always looking for ways to use this flavour-filled meat in my recipes. This crunchy Asian salad with pork is made even more delicious by topped with a generous serving of pork whilst remaining light and trim. The recipe is a classic example of keeping pork on the menu when you’re eating a lower calorie diet.
By choosing a lean “heart smart” pork mince and then poaching the meat, this Asian salad with pork is a lot healthier and lighter. I have included a generous serving size of salad and meat, so there is no way anyone will be hungry after this dish.
