A friend served this curry-flavored salad at a luncheon, and I tweaked it to fit our tastes. Since it's a meal in one, it's perfect for weeknights, and the presentation makes it ideal for entertaining. -Pat Sellon of Monticello, Wisconsin

Not a fan of this recipe. The pork was dry and the salad was bland. I think I'll stick to my usual salad recipes.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it! He said the pork was cooked perfectly and the dressing was very flavorful. I think next time I'll try making it with a milder chili powder.

This dish was easy to make and so tasty! I used a bit less chili powder than the recipe called for, as I don't like things too spicy. It was still plenty flavorful though. I served it with some crusty bread and it was the perfect meal.

Just tried this recipe and it was delicious! The pork was cooked perfectly and the salad was fresh and flavorful. I would recommend using a good quality olive oil for the dressing, as it really makes a difference.
