Note

Storage: This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it covered to maintain freshness.

Substitutions: You can use fresh apricots if in season, though canned provides convenience. For the pork, any cooked leftover pork works well.

Tip: Ensure the pork is fully cooled before adding it to the salad to prevent wilting the vegetables.

Variation: Add some red bell pepper slices for extra crunch and color.
