Serving Suggestions
A perfect summer pairing—grilled, succulent pork tenderloin bursting with curry flavor and a lively tomato salad. Use a combination of heirloom tomatoes if you like; pick different colors—purple, yellow, and bright green to dazzle the plate. If desired, lay some fresh spinach leaves under the pork to add some contrasting color and complete the entrée.
