    It's been years since I'd made this, but it was as good as I remembered. I cooked 1 tenderloin but made the whole salad (with iceberg instead of napa cabbage), and half the dressing. 3 of us finished most of it. Great combination, better than the sum of its parts.

    One of the best recipes I've made in a while. Will definitely be made again for family/entertaining. I halved the curry in the vinaigrette and added a TBS of honey after tasting original recipe. I served the glazed pork over brown jasmine rice alongside the salad mixture. Stunning to the eyes, nose, and taste buds! Prep of pork seasoning, glaze, and vinaigrette can be done ahead to make final preparation easier.

    One of my favorite spring/summer recipes. I've used for both brunch and dinner guests; always a hit. The elements (rub, glaze, salad, vinaigrette) come together beautifully and the completed dish not only tastes wonderful but is visually so vibrant and appealing. And this is easy on the cook as a one-dish main course if you prep everything in advance. You can just sear, bake, and rest the tenderloin after your guests arrive. Easy-peasy. The last time I made this I substituted a prepared mixed spice (Cinnamon, coriander, nutmeg) for curry powder in the vinaigrette because one guest doesn't eat curry. I don't think this worked particularly well and would try another alternative to the curry powder in the future.

    Made the pork again without the salad, halved the salt in the rub and halved the sugar in the glaze. Served it with the sweet potato salad with chili-lime dressing from epicurious.com, very good pairing.

    We liked this a lot, my husband cooked the tenderloins in the bubba keg grill and it was tender and moist. I forgot to make the glaze, but it was still delicious, besides, with the raisins and the oranges in the salad, there was plenty of sweetness. The glaze was just brown sugar, garlic and tabasco, the garlic flavor would have been nice though. I also skipped the red pepper in the salad because I did not have any.
