Pork Tenderloin Salad with Grilled Nectarines.

Let me start by saying, Yes, I am the lame person that brings their own food to a stadium. I brought this salad to the game the other day... I sat completely content with my meal and the game. Twas a good day.

Anyway, My love of peaches isn't much of a secret. When i was younger my parents buckled me into the backseat before taking their place in the front. They'd left me with a bucket of peaches... what would you do? Yep, i did it. They looked back at my young-- <5 self, covered in peaches and it's juice--happy as can be- saying, 'Pich, Pich, Pich'.  Since then...each year Peach season strikes i'm a happy girl.

The original recipe is from 'Cooking Light' and is served with Nectarines but I served it with Peaches. Don't sweat that swap. Also, I eat meat once a week but due to the fact that it was so yummy I ate the leftovers the next day. If you don't eat meat try replacing the Pork with tilapia or mahi-those would be delicious!

 There are 366 Calories for one serving of 3 oz. of pork, 5 wedges of peach, and 1.5 cups of the salad. ENJOY, HAPPILY!
