Ingredients

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
• 6 cups mixed salad greens
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp honey
• 0.5 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp pepper

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Place it in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over it, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Remove the pork from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and grill for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens, red bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and green onions.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Top the salad with the sliced teriyaki pork and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Teriyaki Pork Salad!
