Cucumber And Mango Salad With Chili Spiced Pork Recipes

GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SPICY CUCUMBER, APPLE AND MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• For the pork: Preheat the grill to medium-high, about 375 degrees F, or preheat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates or grill pan.
• Lightly oil the tenderloin and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until you get nice grill marks and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, flipping once, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and transfer to a large plate or platter.
• While the pork grills, make the salad: Combine the cucumber with the apple, mango and mint in a large bowl. Combine the lime zest with the juice, jalapeno, garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, tamari, vinegar and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together then pour over the salad (see Cook's Note). Add some of the peanuts, saving the rest for garnish.
• Top the pork with the salad, mounding it high in the middle of the platter. Sprinkle with the reserved peanuts and a few mint leaves.

CUCUMBER AND MANGO SALAD WITH CHILI-SPICED PORK

Steps:

• In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium. Pat pork dry and season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon chili powder. Cook until pork is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping once. Transfer to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil. Let pork rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing.
• In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, honey, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add mango, cucumber, and lettuce and toss to combine. Divide salad among four shallow bowls and serve with pork.
