Step 1

Sprinkle the sliced onion across the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the pork shoulder on top.

Step 2

Cook on low for 8 hours. Lift the pork and onions out of the oil at the bottom of the slow cooker. Shred the pork with two forks and mix with the onions.

Step 3

Sprinkle the chopped avocado with the lime juice to help prevent browning.

Step 4

Distribute the mixed greens evenly between 4 salad containers. Top each with an equal amount of the pork mixture, cheese, avocado, pickled jalapenos, and corn.

Step 5

Keep the salsa separate until ready to serve by distributing 2 tablespoons into a total of 4 dressing cups.

Step 6

Garnish each salad with ½ tablespoon of cilantro.

Step 7

Before eating, stir the salad ingredients together, including the salsa. Enjoy!
