Ingredients
- 1lb (454 g) pork tenderloin
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
- Oil for grilling
- 4 fresh ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 6 cups (1.5 L) loosely packed baby arugula
- 1 cup (250 mL) mini bocconcini
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) thinly sliced red onion
Dressing
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) oil
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp (10 mL) honey
- 1 tsp (5 mL) grainy mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Preheat barbecue to 450°F (230°C).
Step 2
Season tenderloin all over with salt and pepper.
Step 3
On a well-oiled grill over direct heat, sear tenderloin for 90 seconds per side.
Step 4
Move to indirect heat (unlit side of grill) and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 155°F (70°C). Remove, cover, and rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cut peach halves into 4 wedges each. Brush with some oil and place on grill over direct heat. Grill for about 2 minutes, turning once, until grill marked. Remove and set aside. Brush both sides of bread with some oil and grill on direct heat, turning once, for about 2 minutes or until grilled marked. Let cool slightly and chop bread into 1-inch (2.5- cm) pieces.
Step 5
Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, garlic, and salt.
Step 6
Make the salad by layering arugula, bocconcini, red onion, peaches, and croutons. Slice the tenderloin into 3/4-inch (1.5-cm) thick slices and place in the centre of the salad platter. Drizzle with dressing and serve.
