Banh Mi Salad Recipe

Ingredients

1 lb of pork loin, sliced into 1/2"pieces
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced or pressed
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp black pepper
5 cups grated cabbage
1 cup grated carrot
1 to 2 cups thinly sliced cucumber
2 green onions, chopped
Handful of mint and cilantro leaves, torn into pieces
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Combine pork, garlic, fish sauce and black pepper in a sealed bag or container. Marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients, or longer if possible.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayo and vinegar. If you like a lot of dressing on your salad, double the amounts used. Set aside.

Combine all the vegetables and herbs in a large bowl.

Heat several tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, searing for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Remove from the pan. Slice the medallions of pork into thin strips and mix with the salad ingredients. Pour dressing on top. Toss well and serve.
