Preparation

Vinaigrette

Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside until ready to dress and serve the salad.

Salad

Preheat your oven to low broil. Place the chopped pork and green beans in a large baking dish, drizzle with oil and let cook in oven until pork starts to crisp, about 15 minutes.

Place the water and salt into a small pot and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Add in the wheat and boil until el dente, approximately 12 minutes. Strain and spoon out cooked wheat into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper and toss until well-combined.

Remove pork and beans from the oven and let cool slightly before combining with grain salad. Dress with jalapeño vinaigrette and serve warm.
