Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • filleting knife
  • shallow baking tray

Ingredients  

  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 3 c spring greens or lettuce of your choice
  • 1 onion slices
  • 2 tbsp Ocean Spray reduced sugar dried cranberries
  • ½ medium gala apple, chopped
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • tbsp Panera poppyseed dressing or dressing of your choice

Instructions

Making the Pork Tenderloin

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉ in a convection oven or 425℉ in a traditional oven.
  • I line a shallow baking pan with aluminum oil because I'm lazy. I use a Roseland Italian marinated pork tenderloin. If you use a plain pork tenderloin, either sprinkle it with Italian seasoning before baking or marinade it in your favorite Italian dressing.
  • Trim the excess fat and the silver membrane from the pork tenderloin using a filleting knife. I covered how to do this with photos in the body of the main post.
  • Bake the completely trimmed pork tenderloin into the oven and bake for 15-20 min depending on the size of the tenderloin. I normally check the meat after 15 min of roasting. You are looking for an internal temperature of 145℉. I normally cook mine to 150℉. The tenderloin will continue to cook after it is removed from the oven while it is resting.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the oven when done and let rest 10 min before slicing.

Assembling the Salad

  • Rinse your greens or lettuce and pat dry and place on a dinner plate.
  • I dress the greens before adding any other ingredients. You can do this or add the salad dressing at the very end.
  • Add the sliced onion, dried cranberries, chopped apple and feta cheese crumbles.
  • Slice the pork tenderloin and add the slices to the top of the salad.
  • Serve and enjoy.
  • Refrigerate the left over pork tenderloin.
