• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Lime juice, fresh
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 Cucumber, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
• 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (for salad)
• 0.25 tsp Salt (for salad)
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (for salad)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork tenderloin in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.

Step 4

Grill the pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

While the pork is grilling, prepare the summer corn salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh corn kernels, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, chopped basil leaves, and optional crumbled feta cheese.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to make the salad dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Slice the grilled pork tenderloin into medallions and serve alongside the summer corn salad. Enjoy!
