Pistachio 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 a short roast in a hot oven takes it the rest of the way to perfectly pink and tender. Smoked paprika adds a subtle warmth that plays beautifully against the sweet, citrusy salsa loaded with ripe peaches, jalapeño, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so you can feel genuinely good about what's on the plate without having to scrutinize a single label. Salsas and spice blends from the store can be sneaky when it comes to hidden additives or shared-facility nuts, but making everything from scratch here means you stay fully in control. The peach salsa doubles as a conversation starter — guests always ask about it, and the answer is refreshingly simple. Serve the sliced medallions on a platter with the salsa spooned right over the top for a dinner that's as beautiful as it is satisfying.
