• 1 lb. boneless pork loin, trimmed and cut into strips
• 1 lb. fresh spinach leaves, coarsely shredded
• 3 cups watercress sprigs
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1 cup seedless green grapes
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
• 1-8 oz. can sliced water chestnuts, drained
• 1 large golden delicious apple, cored and chopped
• 1 cup low calorie Italian salad dressing
• 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 3 Tbsp. light brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Spray non-stick skillet with vegetable cooking spray; stir fry pork strips until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside; keep warm.

In large serving bowl, toss spinach, watercress, celery, grapes, green onion, water chestnuts, and apples; toss to mix.

In small saucepan, combine salad dressing, mustard, and brown sugar; heat just until brown sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Stir cooked pork into hot dressing to coat well.

Remove pork; pour half of the dressing over greens mixture in bowl; toss well. Place pork strips on top of salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Pass remaining dressing. Serves 6.
