Hazelnut Free Paleo Garlic-Herb Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa
Juicy, herb-crusted pork tenderloin paired with a bright, fresh peach 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, and then the oven does the heavy lifting from there. Ripe peaches, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice come together into a salsa that's sweet, tangy, and just a little spicy — the perfect contrast to the smoky, savory pork. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved; what you see is exactly what you get. The whole dish is also built around whole, unprocessed foods, making it a clean and satisfying option whether you're eating paleo or just trying to keep things simple. Letting the tenderloin rest before slicing is the one step you really don't want to skip — it keeps every medallion tender and full of flavor. Pile the salsa on top and bring this to the table; it's the kind of recipe that earns serious compliments.
