Pulled Pork Salad with Cilantro Dressing

This isn't exactly the quickest meal but it is really yummy! I have three different recipes for it and I usually just pour in a bunch of stuff so here is what I do:

Ingredients:
1 Pork Roast
1 Coca Cola bottle
1 Cup Salsa
1 cup brown sugar
1 Cup Ketchup
To taste:
salt, pepper, garlic salt, cumin

Put the pork roast in a crock pot. Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic salt and cumin. Pour in 1 cup of the Coke, the salsa, and the brown sugar. Cook on low for 8 hours. One hour before it's done, put 1 more cup Coke and 1 Cup ketchup in a small sauce pan on the stove. Heat and stir. Shred the pork in the crock pot. Pour the coke and ketchup mix over the meat and let it cook the remaining hour.

Cilantro Dressing:
1 Jar Green Salsa Verde
Equal amount of prepared ranch dressing (we make our ranch or you can use Hidden Valley)
1 bunch cilantro

Place equal parts salsa verde and ranch dressing (I usually do a cup of each, can do more) in a blender or food processor with cilantro leaves and blend to smooth. Put it in the fridge til your ready to eat.

Other ingredients for salad:
Shredded lettuce (or I just buy the bagged lettuce)
Wheat, flour or corn tortillas
Black beans (I just warm up a can)
Cilantro lime rice (steamed rice with chopped cilantro leaves and fresh lime juice, to your liking)
Diced tomatoes (or I get really lazy and buy already made pico), onions etc
Shredded cheese (whatever kind you like)

After the meat is done, just layer a tortilla the way you like it and enjoy. It's so yummy!
