This recipe was designed to use slices of leftover Roast Pork Tenderloin with Asian Glaze, but you could use freshly sautéed pork tenderloin slices or any other poultry or meat with Asian seasonings. The meat will have better texture and flavor if not ice-cold from the refrigerator, so let it sit for about 30 minutes before serving. Without the meat, it is a refreshing salad on its own, with Asian pears adding an exotic touch.
