Preparation

Pork tenderloin makes for a light and healthy meal when paired with fresh greens. First we'll start with the salad dressing. In a bowel combine the extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and honey. Mix well and set aside.

In a frying pan over medium-high heat sauté the asparagus until tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Next we'll cook the pork tenderloin.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 °F. Heat a cast iron-skillet until hot over medium-high heat. Season the pork loin generously with salt and pepper. Add a tablespoon of avocado oil and when it begins to smoke sear the pork loin on each side until a nice golden brown crust develops. When done remove from heat and place the cast iron skillet with pork loin in the oven and cook until an internal temperature of 140 °F is reached. When done remove from the oven and allow to rest. The residual heat will bring the internal temperature of the pork loin up to 145 °F.

Toss the arugula, sliced radish, chopped red onion, and blue cheese with the salad dressing. When evenly coated, plate and garnish with the asparagus. Slice the chicken breast into thick slices and place on top of the greens. Drizzle the remaining salad dressing over the pork and enjoy!

Parings

Pork loin pairs amazingly well with Pinot Noir or Chianti.
