Tips:

To make sure the pork is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the pork by cutting into it. The meat should be cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of the salad. For a more tart flavor, use white vinegar. For a more mellow flavor, use rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
This salad can be served immediately or chilled for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

This savory pork salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of tender pork, fresh vegetables, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this salad a try!
