I sure enjoyed this salad for lunch the other day.
It has great crunch and depth of flavor. The dressing really brought it home.
I had a leftover pork chop and figured, what better way to use it. I didn't add it in the recipe because it was really an afterthought, but if you have it, throw it in there. It works!
I cut it into small strips and added it to the skillet right towards the end
of browning my noodles so it could warm through.
Really fast and easy and oh so yummy, but just one thing. It doesn't keep in the fridge well.
I wanted some more for supper and the taste was still there, but the crunch was all but forgotten.
