Cafe Rio Pork Salad Recipe with Creamy Tomatillo Ranch Dressing {Gluten-Free, Clean Eating}

I love to eat at Cafe Rio. It’s not my favorite restaurant, but it’s relatively affordable and whenever a group of us are going out, we usually end up coming here because everyone can agree on it. Not all of you have the privilege of living near a Cafe Rio. But if you live by Chipotle, I’m told it’s sort of like that.

The main thing I don’t like about Cafe Rio is that since I eat Clean most of the time if I eat their sweet pork, I feel awful. It tastes so good, but if you look at the copycat recipes for it, they use Coke and brown sugar. No wonder I feel bad after eating it!

So, I played around with the ingredients and come up with this Cafe Rio pork salad recipe that’s so much healthier and (I think) better than Cafe Rio’s. Each individual part isn’t very hard, but all the time involved does add up.

My dad is a traditional eater. He likes American and Italian food and that’s about it. My mom hates to cook. I think it’s really funny that pretty much all of their children enjoy a wide variety of food and enjoy cooking. Seem off subject? Well, it’s hard to come up with a meal to eat for family gatherings that everyone will eat. There are about 30 of us when we’re all there and we’ve found that this pork salad recipe is our go-to meal.

The only person who doesn’t like it is my dad. BUT, because he can pick and choose which foods he eats, he comes up with a dish that he may not love, but he doesn’t complain about it. The same goes for the children. Some of them, all they eat is a tortilla and cheese, but at least it’s something – and it’s not hot dogs. And we can easily split up the different parts of the salad so it’s hardly any work for each individual.

In fact, as much as I enjoy going to Cafe Rio, I think my wallet does not. So my solution you might ask. I created this healthy Cafe Rio sweet pork salad that I can make at home. This is great because then I can enjoy one of my favorite meals but having more control over what goes into it! The dressing is made from scratch with no ranch mix but tastes just like the real thing! It may be a touch thinner, but still so yummy.

Enjoy!
