- To prepare vinaigrette, combine cilantro and next 7 ingredients (through garlic) in a bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
- To prepare salad, place pineapple, bell pepper, skin side down, and chiles on a lightly sprayed grill rack; grill for 5 minutes. Turn pineapple and chiles; grill for 5 minutes. Place bell pepper and chiles in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove pepper and chiles from bag. Seed chiles, and finely chop. Chop pineapple. Place pepper, chiles, and pineapple in a bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss. Arrange 2 lettuce leaves on each of 6 plates. Divide pork evenly among salads. Spoon 1/2 cup pineapple mixture over each serving, and sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons avocado. Serve immediately.
