Ingredients
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 jalapeño pepper
2 peaches (or nectarines)
2 medium tomatoes
3/4 cup fresh pre-diced onions
1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season pork with salt and pepper (wash hands).

Cut peaches into small pieces; add to peppers. Cut tomatoes into small pieces; add to peaches. Add onions; gently stir in vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons oil.

Aprons Advice
- Complete your meal with green beans, a crusty baguette, and pecan pie for dessert.
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking your pork. The pork may still be pink in the center, but it is safe to eat and will be moist and tender when properly cooked.
