If you have your grill our there this summer (A grill pan will work too, not the best, but will work), well, give this one a try. This delicious grilled pork salad is one of my favorite. The tender juicy pork paired with the fragrant lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves and other seasonings, make this warm salad a keeper. Ingredients are easy to find too and your taste buds will be very well entertained 😉
