| 1 c. raspberries, cleaned |
| 1 mango, peeled and diced |
| 1/3 c. raspberry vinegar |
| 2 Tbsp. olive oil |
| 2 tsp. honey |
| 1/4 tsp. salt |

1. In small bowl stir together vinegar, olive oil, honey and salt.
2. In large bowl toss together pork, rice, walnuts, onion, pineapple and mushrooms; add vinegar mixture and toss to coat evenly.

* Serving Suggestions: This tangy entrée salad pairs choice fruits--pineapple, raspberries, mango--with sophisticated wild rice and fresh spinach. Three cups of cooked pork loin is a little over a pound of pork roast--leftovers from a roast would be perfect in this hearty "day two" device.
