Pulled Pork Cobb Salad Is Easy and Delicious
Next week marks a big Cook Smarts milestone. We hired our first new recipe developer to bring some fresh creativity to our meal plans. Don’t worry though, we didn’t invite just anybody to be part of the Cook Smarts family. We’re welcoming the awesome Chung-Ah Rhee of Damn Delicious. She clearly gets simple (but delicious) food and also happens to take gorgeous food photos. We put in a lot of brainstorming, but she’s come up with a delicious meal plan for next week.
- Monday: Black pepper tofu with rice
- Tuesday: Shrimp & chicken sausage fried rice
- Wednesday: Pulled pork gyros
- Thursday: Leftover pulled pork cobb salad
You can learn more about the menu in this short video. Also, to celebrate this milestone, we’re giving away 1 year meal plan subscription and a $50 Whole Foods gift certificate over on her blog (ends Friday, June 28th, so hop on over stat!). And of course, you can always taste test our service for free with no payment info required. You’ll get 3 sample plans and have the option to upgrade to a paid subscription whenever you’re ready to get new plans – like the one Chung-Ah’s created – every week.
Get Chung-Ah’s recipe for Thursday’s Leftover Pulled Pork Cobb Salad below. Since our meal plans are all about saving you time, we make a lot of pulled pork for Wednesday’s Pulled Pork Gyro dinner so we can have leftovers to make this salad the next day. Make sure to get that recipe here so you’ll have the leftover pulled pork to make this hearty summer salad.
