How To Make walnut and hot pork pear salad

  • 1
    Cut pork into 3x1/4-inch strips; set aside. Pare and core pears; cut into 12 slices. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet; gently saute pears until they are tender, but still hold their shape. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • 2
    Add oil to pan and stir fry pork until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove pork from pan; add vinegar, sugar and salt to pan juices; cook and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • 3
    Return pork and pears to pan with raisins, stir gently to heat through. Put salad greens in a large salad bowl; spoon over pork mixture, toss. Garnish with walnuts.

    Note: If fresh pears are not available, substitute canned pears. Complete the menu with warm dinner rolls.
