Grilled Pork Tenderloin Salad



Oh how I love Michael Psilakis's Grilled Pork Tenderloin Salad from Food and Wine.  He describes it as being "like pork souvlaki tossed with a salad."  Spring greens, grilled vegetables (asparagus, onions, and tomatoes), sliced grilled pork tenderloin, prosciutto di Parma, and a zingy vinaigrette - perfect!  It is a healthy and hearty main course salad.  Great sides are olives, feta cheese, pita bread, and tzatziki.  The asparagus was grown in NJ - now all I need are local tomatoes!  I am so happy that grilling season is here!  Opa!

Tzatziki Recipe
1/4 cup grated English cucumber
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

Combine ingredients in a bowl.  Refrigerate for approx. one hour before serving.
