Scallop and Crispy Pork Belly Salad

Serves 6 Prep Time 1 hours   Cook Time 30 minutes   Rated:

I cannot stop making and eating this salad. It is so good. It is a little fiddly, what with the Green Nahm Jihm in the dressing, but once you have that dressing just sitting in the fridge, it is super easy. (And thanks to the airfryer, the pork belly is super easy as well!)

It is pretty impressive for a dinner party, very more-ish and you can bulk it up with more veggies of your choosing. I suggest adding it to your menu immediately! YAY Insiders!
