KarenHave I got an easy weeknight dinner for you!
Grilled pork tenderloin is fabulous and I make it often in the summer, but I’ve always grilled the tenderloin whole; I never thought to slice it and skewer it until now. It cooked in no time (although I did marinate it for a bit) and turned out great! The scallions were a lovely flavor complement and also a nice way to separate the pork slices.
I served it with a cucumber and feta cheese salad, and the whole meal felt like the perfect way to bid summer adieu!
I hope that you enjoy these last weeks of summertime and look forward, with excitement, to the pleasures of autumn!
