Cuban sandwich salad recipe
Inspired by the Cuban sandwich, these salad bowls are made with leftover roast pork, crispy bread croutons, cheese, salami and sweet pickle slices. The dressing makes more than you need and will keep in the fridge for up to a week. Use it as a normal salad dressing or drizzle over cooked prawns, chicken or white fish.

Method
- For the mojo dressing, put all the ingredients in a clean jam jar, season well and shake until smooth.
- Put the pork (not the crackling) in a bowl and spoon over 2 tbsp of the dressing. Toss to coat then set aside.
- Place a small frying pan over a medium heat and drizzle with a little olive oil. When hot, fry the bread, turning often, for 3-4 mins, until golden and crisp on the outside but soft within. Drain on kitchen paper.
- Arrange the lettuce and tomatoes in two bowls. Fold or roll up the cheese, salami and pickles and arrange on top, then divide the pork between the bowls and finish with the croutons and any leftover crackling. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp dressing over each salad bowl, then serve immediately.
