6 Tbsp. Thai red curry paste
3 qt. shredded coleslaw mixture (cabbage and carrots)
3 qt. chopped romaine
3 cups chopped baby bok choy
6 ripe mangos (12 count), chopped to yield about 3 cups

3 green onions, sliced
¾ cup rice vinegar
6 Tbsp. vegetable oil
6 tsp. sesame oil

For salad: Season pork lightly with salt and pepper. Rub curry paste onto the surface of the meat. Grill over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until internal temperature of pork reaches 160°F. Remove from grill and let cool slightly. Cut into strips and place in a large bowl with coleslaw, romaine, bok choy, mango, red pepper and ginger. Drizzle with dressing and toss well to coat.
