PORK TACO SALAD
A really yum salad that is my new favourite. I found the recipe in the December 2008 "recipes +" magazine. Quick and easy to make and the taste is sensational. I also added avocado to the recipe and at one time added blanched asparagus that I needed to be used. I used telegraph cucumber and plain tomatoes as they are cheaper, but will post the recipe as it was originally published.

- Don't overcook the pork. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the pork dry and tough.
- Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really brings the salad together. Make sure to use a dressing that you enjoy and that complements the other flavors in the salad.
- Add your favorite toppings. There are endless possibilities for toppings on a smoked pork taco salad. Some popular choices include shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and salsa.
