Carrageenan Free Paleo Garlic-Herb Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa
Juicy, herb-crusted pork tenderloin paired with a bright, fruity salsa is the kind of meal that feels impressive without demanding hours in the kitchen. The garlic-rosemary-thyme paste gets rubbed all over the meat before a quick sear locks in a deeply browned crust, then the oven does the heavy lifting from there. Ripe peaches, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice come together into a salsa that's sweet, tangy, and just a little spicy — the perfect contrast to the smoky, savory pork. Carrageenan is a common additive in processed meats, marinades, and pre-made salsas, so store-bought shortcuts can be a real minefield. This recipe sidesteps all of that by relying entirely on whole, unprocessed ingredients — fresh herbs, avocado oil, and real fruit — so there's nothing hidden to worry about. Every component is made from scratch, which means you're in full control from the first rub to the final spoonful of salsa. The result is a clean, vibrant plate that's as wholesome as it is genuinely delicious.
