How to Make Asian Pork And Pineapple Salad

  1. Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving 1 tablespoon of the juice. Discard the remaining juice.
  2. Set the drained pineapple aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and minced garlic. This is your dressing.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the reserved pineapple chunks, red onion, shredded carrots, bell pepper, cilantro, and peanuts (if using).
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the lime mixture over the onion and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to combine.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining lime mixture with the pork, ensuring each piece is coated.
  7. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  8. Add the marinated pork to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  9. Add the cooked pork to the large bowl with the pineapple and vegetable mixture.
  10. Toss gently to combine everything.
  11. Serve the Asian Pork & Pineapple Salad immediately over a bed of arugula. Enjoy!
