Crunchy Pork and Rice Salad image

"Cool and refreshing"-that describes this leftovers salad pretty well! It's full of cold ingredients. Prepare it as a side dish or serve it along with homemade bread as a main course. I frequently make my salad for family luncheons. That's only appropriate-the recipe was passed down to me by my mom, who got it from her mom! I'm a full-time wife and mom (plus home-school teacher!) with five sons, who range in age from 9 to 1.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I left it out of my salad. It was still delicious.
