- 1/3 cup avocado oil (or your favorite neutral flavored oil)

- 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups Instant Pot Pork Carnitas prepared and shredded
- 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup frozen corn, defrosted
- 1 avocado, peeled, pit removed and diced
- 1 lime, quartered
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
Instructions

The ingredients will settle, so you’ll need to stir or shake before serving.
- This recipe makes four servings, so portion out equal amounts of the lettuce, beans, tomatoes, corn, avocado and pork onto four plates or bowls and garnish with lime, cilantro and the prepared dressing. Use as much or little of the dressing as you like based on your preference.
