Lean pork tenderloin is simply seasoned, grilled and then tossed with a flavorful mixture of greens, crisp vegetables, avocado and a creamy lime dressing. The sweet apple-like flavor from the Jicama, a root vegetable native to Mexico, pairs perfectly with the pork but you could also use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs instead. Look for jicama in the produce section of your supermarket. To prep it, use a vegetable peeler to remove and discard its brown skin. You don’t need to buy a separate can of adobo sauce. The can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce will contain enough sauce for the salad dressing recipe.
