GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN AND CURRY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• For the curry potato salad: Cube the potatoes and boil them in salted water until they are fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and drain.
• Combine the mayonnaise, Dijon and relish in a large bowl. Add the onion, bell pepper, and green onion and toss gently to combine. Add some salt, pepper, curry powder and garlic powder to taste. Add a few dashes of vinegar, then the potatoes. Combine, then top with the chopped egg and sprinkle with cayenne.
• For the pork: Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Mix together the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, mustard, onion powder, oregano, sugar, thyme and 1 tablespoon each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture all over the pork tenderloins. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before carving.
• Serve the pork with the potato salad.

EDDIE JACKSON'S MASON JAR SALAD AND SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• For Eddie's salad dressing: Put the parsley, olive oil, vinegar, honey, basil, oregano, tarragon, garlic and some salt and pepper in a food processor and puree until smooth.
• For the mason jar salad: Start by placing 1 to 2 tablespoons of the salad dressing (or any amount you desire) in the bottom of a 16-ounce mason jar. Next, build the salad by placing the proteins--the chicken and garbanzo beans--in the jar first. After that, layer the remaining ingredients in the jar (try color coordinating for presentation): the red onion, zucchini, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, pumpkin seeds and feta. Finish by packing the lettuce and kale on top. Seal and refrigerate.
• To serve, flip over on a bowl or plate, mix everything together and dig in.
