Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 medium-sized Mango
- 150 grams Mixed salad greens
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 small Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Season the pork tenderloin with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper.
Drizzle the pork with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub it evenly to coat.
Sear or grill the pork for 6-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the pork rests, peel and dice the mangoes into bite-sized pieces.
Thinly slice the red onion and cucumber. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, soy sauce, and chili flakes (if using) to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced mango, sliced red onion, cucumber, and cilantro.
Add the sliced pork to the salad and drizzle with the prepared lime dressing. Toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro leaves if desired.
