When I smoke a pork shoulder or head to my local BBQ joint, I always wind up with more than a little pulled pork leftover. If you leave some free of BBQ sauce, you can change things up with this take on a classic salad. The smokiness of the pork adds a very different dimension than the typical chicken.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick cut bacon
  • 2 cups leftover pulled pork
  • 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, cubed
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 6 green onions, sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Set the bacon aside to drain and cool on a plate covered with paper towels. Once cooled, chop the bacon and reserve for later use.
  2. Meanwhile, in the remaining bacon grease, heat the leftover pork over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through.
  3. Divide the lettuce onto 4 plates. Top the lettuce evenly with the bacon, pork, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, blue cheese, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper, add ranch dressing, and enjoy!
