OK... So I tried to make the Cafe Rio Pork Salad it tasted pretty close but there is something missing... I am going to share the recipe that I used with you and if anyone has any other recipes or suggestions LET ME KNOW!!!
Cafe Rio Pork
3-4 lb. pork roast
1 cup salsa
1 cup brown sugar
Put ingredients in a crock pot, cook on low for 8 hours... shred with fork when done.
Cilantro Lime Dressing
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
3 Tbsp. Salsa Verde (green salsa)
1/8 tsp. Tabasco Sauce
1/2 bunch of cilantro with stems
medium garlic clove
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
Mix ingredients together in a blender. Add lime peel and juice to taste. It tastes best when made ahead and chilled several hours. Thin with buttermilk if needed.

Looks yummy!!! Anytime you want to make it for me I will let you know what I think... j/k!! I need to try it! Better yet lets go to Cafe Rio and have lunch?
hey brooke its tya- I made that salad once, the recipe was a little different but I added 1/4 cup of lemon juice and a tsp-tsp & 1/2 of cayenne pepper. It may be just what your looking for! :)
My mom found a really good recipe for the pork that she claims is spot-on. I know for a fact though that they make the pork with Coke. So I'll email you the recipe once I get it from her and maybe that will account for the "something missing."
I haven't had it, but have heard great things about it! I'll have to try it next time I'm in Utah. BTW, Happy Birthday today Brooke!Love you!
hey brooke- happy birthday. hope you had a good one.
This is a good recipe!
Oh and happy belated b-day, I hope it was so fun! I swear one of these days we will get together w/ Sally and Steph!

How's it going, Brooke?
Richard Ethington here. Andrea is absolutely right about the Pork. . . it needs to marinate in Coke (or Diet if you're into that kind of thing. . .) I can't believe you've been married for eight years!!! My wife and I will celebrate three years next week. :) Thanks for saying hello!
