Paraben 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 special enough for company but is genuinely weeknight-friendly. The garlic-rosemary-thyme paste gets rubbed all over the meat before a quick sear locks in that gorgeous crust, and a short oven roast brings it to a perfectly pink, tender center. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed — fresh herbs, avocado oil, ripe peaches, lime juice — so there are no hidden additives or synthetic preservatives to worry about, which is exactly what makes this approach so clean and trustworthy. The peach salsa is the real showstopper: sweet fruit, a little heat from jalapeño, and a hit of fresh cilantro and lime that cuts right through the richness of the pork. It all comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying the result. Whether you're cooking for a crowd or just treating yourself, slicing those medallions and spooning that salsa over the top feels genuinely satisfying from start to finish.
