Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 1 pound) pork tenderloin
- 1 head radicchio
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (slivered) toasted almonds
Instructions
Preheat your skillet or grill to medium-high heat.
Rub the pork tenderloin with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Cook the pork tenderloin in the skillet (or on the grill) for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C). Set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes.
While the pork is resting, remove any damaged outer leaves from the radicchio. Quarter it, remove the core, and slice the leaves into thin ribbons.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Slice the rested pork tenderloin into thin slivers, cutting against the grain, to ensure tenderness.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced radicchio, slivered pork, chopped parsley, and toasted almonds.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh and flavorful dish!
