Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 peaches, sliced
- 1 cup corn, cooked
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1/4 cup vinaigrette dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the pork tenderloin by patting it dry with paper towels and seasoning generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the tenderloin with a small amount of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the pork tenderloin for approximately 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
- Remove the pork from the heat and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. This will help keep the meat tender and juicy.
- While the pork is resting, grill the peach slices for 1-2 minutes on each side to caramelize and enhance their natural sweetness.
- Slice the rested pork tenderloin into thin, diagonal medallions.
- In a large salad bowl, arrange the mixed greens as a base.
- Top the greens with the sliced pork, grilled peaches, and cooked corn kernels.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette dressing evenly over the salad.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
- Serve immediately while the pork is still warm and the salad is fresh.
Tips
- • Always let your pork tenderloin rest after grilling to ensure maximum juiciness • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfectly cooked pork • Grill peaches quickly to caramelize without making them mushy • Choose fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor • If you don't have a grill, a grill pan works just as well • For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork for 30 minutes before cooking • Use a high-quality vinaigrette or make your own for a personalized touch • This salad is best served immediately while the pork is still warm
