Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple Salsa

I love chicken breasts! They’re a lean protein, packed with iron, and versatile – but don’t you get tired of having it day in and day out? Why not mix it up with another protein-rich option that’s just as lean – pork tenderloin!

It’s called “the other white meat” for a reason!

Pork is an excellent source of “excellent” source of phosphorus and B vitamins thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and vitamin B-6. Phosphorus is needed for bone health while B vitamins are needed to break your food down into energy.

Pair it with pineapple salsa for a healthy dose of fibre and bromelain, an enzyme that helps you digest protein. Plus, pineapple and pork are one of those classic flavour combinations that make your taste buds wake up and take notice.

You can either roast or BBQ pork tenderloin for a delicious meal. Use the leftover pork in a stirfry or soup for a quick weeknight dinner. Who doesn’t love cooking once and getting multiple meals out of it?

      Thanks, Aggie! I know, I always forget about pork tenderloin. I was a picky eater as a kid and this was the only meat I would eat. Still love it 🙂

    Very good! LIke you I am tired of chicken. This is lean and I love the salsa. It is simple to prepare. We have used the left-overs for sandwiches and because I cooked two, also for tacos. Thank-you for a great recipe!
