Cafe' Rio Pork and Dressing Recipes

I told all of you that my meal plan for the rest of the month included Cafe' Rio Pork Salad with Cafe' Rio Dressing.  Yummo!  For those of you not living in the West, you are missing out.  Until now!  Here are the recipes to make your own version at home.  I build my salad kinda like they do at Cafe' Rio - lettuce, beans, rice, pork, dressing.  You can also add guacamole, sour cream, pico, salsa, etc.  Seriously, seriously delicious.  I am currently enjoying a tummy full of it.  Enjoy!

Shredded Cafe Rio Pork
3 lbs pork
16 oz. bottle of chunky salsa (use blender so chunks are gone)

1 cup brown sugar

Place all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Shred pork with forks. Leave it on low until ready to serve.
