pork tenderloin with cucumber-mango salad

I love searching out and trying new recipes!

This one was different, tangy spiced with a sweet Japanese flair.

2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar

2 tsp five spice powder(I used basil, clove, black pepper and a little red pepper in it's place)

1 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin

4 green onions

1 mango, peeled, seeded and chopped

1 small English cucumber chopped

1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped(optional)

Preheat oven to 425. In small bowl combine brown sugar, five spice powder and 1/2 t. salt; set 1 tsp. sugar mixture aside. Rub remaining sugar mixture into pork tenderloin. Place tenderloin in foil-lined baking pan.

Roast, uncovered, 20 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees F. Cover with foil and let rest 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, chop green onions, mango, cucumber and jalapeno and mix with the reserved brown sugar mixture.

Slice pork and serve with Mango salad.

Serves 4

It's delicious!
