Cajun Pork Salad
You may be used to Cajun chicken but pork is also a lovely meat to use with this seasoning. There’s lots of veg packed into the salad so it’s a great nutrient filled meal.
Ingredients
- FOR THE SALAD
- 200g sweetcorn
- 12 radishes, sliced
- 12 spring onions, sliced
- 200g cucumber, halved & sliced
- 120g spinach
- 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 avocado, skin & seed removed, sliced
- FOR THE PORK
- 570g pork tenderloin
- 4 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Pat the pork dry and remove any silver fat.
- Cover the pork in Cajun seasoning and then rub over the oil.
- Heat a skillet or frying pan until hot and add the pork, searing all the sides.
- If the pan is oven-proof, pop the whole thing in the oven; otherwise, place the pork in a roasting dish and then put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes until cooked. A slight touch of pink in the middle is fine.
- To make the salad, add the sweetcorn, radish, onions, cucumber, and spinach to a large bowl and mix.
- Mix the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, wholegrain mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil together in a small pot, then pour onto the salad and mix well.
- Divide the salad between 4 plates and top with avocado on each.
- Slice the pork and divide evenly, placing on top.
- Enjoy!
