This is a quick, affordable weeknight salad that leans on pantry staples and Charlotte's regional peanut tradition. The five-minute claim assumes cooked pork and rice on hand; realistically, add 20-30 minutes if you're cooking from scratch, though the actual hands-on work is minimal. All ingredients are standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI with no special trips needed. The main cost driver is the pork, which varies by cut, but the rest—mandarin oranges from a can, yogurt, raisins, peanuts—keeps the per-serving price modest, likely under $2.50 if you use leftover protein. It reheats adequately but tastes best same-day before the celery softens and the yogurt-mayo dressing thins.
