Cobb Salad with Barbecue Pork

This delicious Cobb salad features a TON of flavor with the addition of barbecue pork!  This recipe is a perfect one to have on a busy night as most of the work is done by the slow cooker.  You can also customize this all to your own – just use your favorite flavors and dressings!

What is in a Cobb salad?

Typically a Cobb salad is loaded with lettuce, onion, cheese, and yummy toppings (bacon and avocado anyone?).  Our salad features smoky flavors from barbecue sauce and pork tenderloin and it is delicious.

MENU TIP: This Barbecue Pork Cobb Salad recipe is from week 4 of our slow cooker volume 2 menu planning made easy set! 

Here's how to make a Cobb salad:

Start by greasing your slow cooker and then mix together your sauce.  You'll need to mix barbecue sauce, garlic powder, and paprika together and then add that to your pork tenderloin.  Coat the meat well and then add to your slow cooker.  Cover and cook the meat on low for 4 – 5 hours or until the pork is tender.

Once your pork is cooked, remove from the slow cooker and shred. Mix 2 cups of barbecue sauce from the slow cooker back into the meat.  Remove half of the pork for a barbecue pork sliders recipe!

Slice your romaine lettuce and place on a large serving platter. Arrange the pork, bacon, vegetables, avocado, eggs, cheese and croutons over lettuce and drizzle with dressing to serve.

So good!
