Instructions
- Put all the venison ingredients in a large pot and cover with water by about 2 inches. Bring to a simmer. Taste the water, and add more salt if needed. Simmer, covered, until the meat can be easily shredded, about 2 to 4 hours.
- Fish the meat out of the pot and let it cool a bit. Shred finely with two forks or your fingers. This can be done up to 3 days before you make the salad.
- To make the salad, chop all the vegetables, toss with the shredded meat, and then dress with salt, olive oil and the lime juice. Serve cool.
Notes
- Once shredded, the meat will keep in the fridge a week. Once the salad is made, however, it needs to be eaten that day. It will wilt overnight.
