Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 2 Cups Cooked Pulled Pork Warm or Cold
  • 6 Cups Chopped Romaine or Mixed Greens
  • 1 Cup Grape Tomatoes Quartered
  • 1 Cup Canned Corn Drained
  • ½ Cup Black Beans Rinsed and Drained
  • ½ Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ¼ Cup Thinly Sliced Red Onion
  • ¼ Cup Sliced Pickled Jalapeños Optional
  • Optional: Tortilla Strips for Topping

For the Dressing

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Barbecue Sauce and Ranch Dressing until smooth. Set aside.
  • Assemble the Salad Base: In a large bowl or serving platter, layer the Chopped Romaine, Grape Tomatoes, Corn, Black Beans, Shredded Cheddar Cheese, and Red Onion.
  • Add the Pork: Place the Pulled Pork on top of the layered vegetables.
  • Dress and Toss: Drizzle the BBQ Ranch Dressing over the top and toss gently to combine—or serve the dressing on the side if preferred.
  • Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle with Pickled Jalapeños and Tortilla Strips just before serving for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Serve Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep components separate and assemble just before eating if prepping ahead.

Notes

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION was calculated without the extra tortilla strips, and using Sweet Baby Ray's Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce.
For Trim Healthy Mamas, omit the tortilla strips; this would be a THM-XO meal.
Make It Your Own: Add Sliced Avocado, Bell Pepper, or a sprinkle of Cotija Cheese for variety.
Meal Prep Tip: Store the Salad Components separately and dress just before serving to keep the greens crisp.
Milder Option: Swap out Jalapeños for mild Banana Peppers or omit them for a kid-friendly version.
Protein Swap: Don’t have Pulled Pork? Use Grilled Chicken, Rotisserie Chicken, or Leftover Roast Beef.
