Prep: 25 minutes
Roast: 25 minutes
Stand: 5 minutes
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 2 cups
1 10- to 12-ounce pork tenderloin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup blackberries and/or raspberries
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cups packaged mixed baby greens (spring mix)
2 cups blackberries and/or raspberries
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted* (optional)
* To toast pine nuts: Place pine nuts in a shallow baking pan. Bake in a 350°F. oven for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking pan once or twice. Watch closely so nuts don’t burn.
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with 1⁄8 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Roast, uncovered, for 25 to 35 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 145°F. Remove from oven. Cover roast with foil and let stand for 5 minutes. Cool slightly. Slice pork 1/4 inch thick.
2. For blackberry vinaigrette, in a blender container or food processor bowl, combine 1/2 cup blackberries, lemon juice, oil, honey, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Strain dressing through a sieve; discard seeds.
3. To serve, place greens in a salad bowl (or on individual plates); top with the 2 cups blackberries, tomatoes, pine nuts (if using), and pork slices. Drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.
