Pork Chop and Bacon Layered Salad
Are you tired of grilled chicken or fried chicken salad? Well, I'm going to shuffle it up a little bit.
Serves: 4
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients
-
1 pound Smithfield Boneless Pork Chops, cut into 1/2 inch strips
-
1 pound Smithfield Hickory Smoked Bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
1/2 cup all purpose flour
-
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
-
6 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small head romaine lettuce, shredded
-
2 large tomatoes, chopped
-
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
-
4 green onions, thinly sliced
-
1 (8 ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese
Steps
In a shallow dish, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper. Coat pork chops in melted butter; dredge in cornmeal mixture.
In a large skillet, heat 6 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Cook pork chops in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
In a large bowl, layer shredded lettuce, tomatoes, eggs, green onions, cheese and bacon. Top with pork chop strips. Cover and chill.
