• STEP 4.Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with a generous spoonful of fresh apple salsa on top. Enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to let the pork tenderloin marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds and membranes of the jalapeno intact. Remove them for a milder salsa.
• If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the pork tenderloin in the oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pork tenderloin can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The fresh apple salsa is best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To serve, reheat the pork tenderloin in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Serve with the fresh apple salsa.
