This refreshing pork salad offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. Crisp red cabbage provides a sturdy base, while thinly sliced pears add a natural sweetness that cuts through the richness of the bacon. The inclusion of peppery watercress and fresh green onions brightens the dish, making it incredibly vibrant. A simple aioli dressing, thinned slightly with warm water, coats every bite without weighing it down. Crunchy toasted walnuts and savory bacon pieces add the perfect finish.
