    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

Mixed Green Salad with Citrus Dressing

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon minced shallot
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch (8 ounces) arugula, stemmed (7 to 8 cups)
4 ounces frisée, torn into bite-size pieces (4 cups)
1 small head (4 ounces) radicchio, torn into bite-size pieces (4 cups)
(serves 4)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large straight-sided skillet over high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes.

    Step 2

    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover; cook, turning the pork occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers registers 150°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate (reserve the skillet with juices); cover with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    To the skillet, add both mustards, the sour cream, and any accumulated pork juices from the plate; whisk over medium heat until heated through (do not boil). Add water if the sauce is too thick. Slice the pork; serve with the pan sauce.

  2. Mixed Green Salad with Citrus Dressing

    Step 4

    Combine the juice, honey, shallot, and vinegar in a blender; season with salt and pepper. Purée until smooth. With the motor running, add the oil in a steady stream until emulsified. In a large bowl, toss the arugula, frisée, and radicchio with the dressing; season with more salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
