Dairy 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 looks impressive but comes together with surprisingly little fuss. 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. Avocado oil is the only fat used throughout, keeping every ingredient clean and naturally free of any dairy — no butter basting, no cream-based sauces, nothing to second-guess. The peach salsa is where things really sing: ripe peaches, jalapeño heat, fresh lime juice, and cilantro come together into something vibrant and cooling that plays perfectly against the smoky, savory pork. Letting the salsa sit while the tenderloin roasts gives the flavors time to meld, so by the time you're slicing, it's already at peak deliciousness. This is the kind of dish that earns serious compliments at a dinner party while requiring zero compromise on what goes into it.
