Savory pork tenderloin plays perfectly with fresh, bright salsa. Mint and jalapeno in the salsa add in a real zing that's counterbalanced by the sweet and spicy pork rub. A winner on both accounts.

I had to cook this indoors instead of grilling it so I used a cast iron griddle. Over medium high heat it took longer than 3 minutes per side to cook, so I'm not sure how that translates to grilling - you might have to adjust the cooking time. The rub on the pork was delicious!! Just the right hint of heat and spice. The salsa was perfect - loved the fresh mint in it. I used a full jalapeno and didn't find it too spicy (but we love spicy food). Great recipe!
