Notes

Don't like or have pulled pork? You could also use pulled barbecue chicken.
This salad is easy to customize. Not a fan of avocado? Don't use. Love corn? Add it in! You get the idea.
While I recommend a sweet and savory barbecue sauce like a brown sugar bourbon variety or honey barbecue, you could use a spicy one if you prefer. Whatever you like!
