Sweet Pork Salad
This is a recipe that I have been wanting to try for a long time. I have heard so many people say that you can make salads at home that taste just like Cafe Rio and it is true! This salad was great! It tasted very similar to the wonderful salads at Cafe Rio! The dressing recipe below is also so yummy! My husband liked the ranch so much I think it will become commonplace around here! Thanks to The Sisters Cafe for this wonderful recipe! Visit their website at http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com/Shredded Sweet Pork
