Pork Tenderloin and Charred Corn Salad
Ingredients
- 500g pork tenderloin
- 2 ears of corn, husks removed
- 1 avocado, diced
- 100g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 50g rocket leaves
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- For the dressing:
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh coriander, chopped
Method
- Preheat your grill to high. Brush the pork tenderloin and corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the pork tenderloin for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Grill the corn alongside the pork, turning frequently, until charred and heated through, about 10-12 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced pork tenderloin, charred corn kernels, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, rocket leaves, and thinly sliced red onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with chopped coriander before serving.
