Ingredients

Dressing

⅓ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
2 teaspoons Sriracha

Salad

1 pound ground pork
½ cup diced red onion
2 large garlic cloves, minced
½ cup shredded carrot
½ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
½ cup chopped fresh mint leaves
½ cup chopped salted peanuts, plus a bit more for garnish
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
½ cup thinly sliced red onion, for garnish
lime wedges, for garnish
butter lettuce leaves, other fresh greens, or rice, for serving

Instructions

Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, fish sauce, ginger, and Sriracha. Set aside.

Salad

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork and onion, and break up pork into very small bites with a spatula. Stir occasionally until pork is nearly cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain away excess grease and liquid. Stir in garlic and cook until pork has cooked through. Transfer pork mixture to a serving bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
Once pork has cooled a bit, drizzle prepared dressing over the top and fold a few times to incorporate. Add carrot, red pepper, cilantro, mint, and peanuts, and fold gently to combine. Taste test; add salt & pepper as desired.
Sprinkle some chopped peanuts over the top and tuck in some red onion slices and lime wedges. Serve with butter lettuce leaves to make lettuce wraps, over fresh greens for a salad, or over cooked rice for rice bowls. Offer Sriracha on the side if you like.
