• 4 cups mixed salad greens
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• For the vinaigrette:

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the adobo sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Place the pork tenderloin in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag and toss to coat the pork in the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the pork tenderloin from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Grill the pork tenderloin for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
6. While the pork is resting, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
7. Slice the grilled pork tenderloin into thin slices.
8. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and sliced plums. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat.
9. Divide the salad mixture onto plates and top with the sliced grilled pork tenderloin.
10. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve immediately.
