Name: Grilled Caesar Pork Tenderloin
Yield: serves 4
Ingredients: Two 1-pound pork tenderloins; 1 cup bottled Caesar salad dressing; Two 10-ounce bags (about 16 cups total) romaine lettuce; 2 cups garlic-flavored croutons; 1/2 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese (2 ounces); 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

You can order yourself a grilled chicken Caesar anywhere. But we figured we could jazz up that combo a little while still keeping it fairly healthful if we swapped in tender slices of grilled pork instead. The smoky, juicy pork and crunchy, tangy salad is a uniquely delicious pairing, if we do say so ourselves. We love to serve it with our Grilled Cheesy Olive Bread (page 90), but then again, we love just about anything with that bread!
