I did change this recipe somewhat in that (although I used all the ingredients) instead of slices of pork roast, I used some frozen shredded pork roast that I had on hand ~ So, I just skipped down to step 3 in the directions & went from there! Still made for a great tasting pork salad, & we especially enjoyed the toasted seeds! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
