The pork tenderloin is marinated in a mixture of lime juice, garlic and spices. While the pork marinates, the pineapple and some vegetables go onto the grill. The original recipe called for grilling the pineapple with red and yellow bell peppers, and left the red onion and jalapeno raw. I figured that I might as well throw everything onto the grill; I prefer cooked onion over raw onion anyways.
The pineapple only needs a few minutes to cook through – the grilling process really intensifies the flavor of the fruit.
Once the pineapple and vegetables are done, they’re coarsely chopped and mixed with lime juice and cilantro to create a salsa.
After the salsa is made, the pork goes onto the grill. I tend to cook pork until it’s just slightly pink on the inside.
The pork and pineapple salsa is a great flavor combination, but I could also see this salsa being great on chicken or fish.

Sounds wonderful! I prefer pork over beef and chicken anyday. I haven't tried grilling pineapple or any other fruit. I'm always a bit wigged out about grilling fruit on the grill. You know with the meat having been cooked on there. I guess I could do it before the meat, duh.

I was just tryiing to figure out what to do with the leftover smoked pork from memorial day, I think i'll try it with this salsa!
I love grilled pineapple! Your meal looks so beautiful...
grilled lettuce? I'll have to try that!
pinepple is awesome on the grill... as is almost any fruit. I also really like grilled peaches.
Beautiful photos.
This is on my list to make this weekend. So fresh and healthy!
This looks amazing, Sara!I love pineapple salsa, and pared with this tasty pork has got to be heavenly!
Your pictures are awsome!
Such gorgeous colors in the salsa!
OH my gosh, I can only imagine how delicious this is! Looks beautiful!
It looks so gorgeous and yummy!
I love the colorful salsa! Grilled pineapple is the best.
Your Adobe pork looks so yummy! We recently made pork burgers topped with grilled pineapple and jalapeno sauce. Same flavors, different take.
And I love your cracker recipe!!! We're trying to eat more naturally and I was just saying to my husband tonight that crackers were posing a problem. We love them, but the commercial ones are filled with fake ingredients.
Perfect for the warmer days! That salsa and adobo look fantastic and ever so flavorful!
Cheers and have a great weekend,

I love pineapple on the grill, I've already done it twice since we dusted off the grill this year :) This dish looks beautiful! Do you keep changing your "header" photo or does it do that on a random-thingy (technical term)?! I like it.
This is totally Philippines! You have the best selection of fruit and vegetable recipes.
Eat yer heart out, Bobby Flay! That is one beaauuuuutiful dish. I am totally drooling right now :) (grilled fruit and veg is the best!)
Wow! Bring on the grill! Looks lie an intensely delicious meal... all those grilled flavors!
Great combination pork and pineapple... love it!
I love romaine grilled and grilled pineapple (esp with ice cream and homemade caramel sauce!). Your grilled pineapple salsa looks amazing on that pork--Yum!
I love fruit grilled on the grill..and combined with the peppers and onions, it sounds wonderful, and over tenderloin marinated in lime, delicious choice, excellent!
Grilled pineapple is one of my favorite things ever! I'm for sure making this salsa!
Gorgeous presentation of the slices of pork with the salsa in the center. Spectacular.
We love salsas in our kitchen and this one is just right. Grilled is the best way to serve pineapple.
I've seen grilled lettuce but never got up the courage to give it a try. Thanks for the encouragement. If you say so, then it's got to be good.

Pork and pineapple salsa on a grill sound incredible! Excellent!
I love grilled lettuce - especially if I have some grilled haloumi cheese to go with it! Your pork dish looks great - I think anytime you can incorporate grilled pineapple or veggies you are going to have a winner.
Grilling the pineapple for the salsa sounds great! That would be delicious with fish too.
I also love grilling pineapple but have never made the salsa. It is now on my "love to do" list! It would be grand on a variety of meats.
The pineapples totally put that salsa over the top! Hey just a heads up I have a fabulous giveaway today don't forget to enter!
Looks delicious! And I think grilling the onion was a great improvisation. I'm kind of a wimp, so I'd probably make this without the jalapeno... but either way, I'm sure it's quite tasty!
The grilled pinaplle salsa looks amazing!
I love pineapple. Never thought to make it into a salsa. Thanks for another great idea.
WOW, love those glowing charcoal... you are truly a fabulous cook. This look delicious Sara!
The salsa is genius. Sweet, warm, spicy. Really different.
I am always looking for new ways to make pork tenderloin - this looks delicious!
Oh my gosh, my dad would go ga-ga for this recipe! He's a super big fan of pineapple and is obsessed with grilling fruit. I'm totally going to send him a link to this!
What a fabulous meal! I've never tried grilling pineapple, great idea!
Looks incredible - I can think of so many meals to incorporate this salsa with! WOW wonderful
The grilled salsa looks wonderful! What a delicious topping for your tenderloin. And I love grilled Romaine - gives it an earthy, smoky flavor.
Grilling fruit, like the pineapple you did and/or stone fruit like peaches, adds a whole new dimension when it is made part of dinner. And it's a perfect complement to pork!
I can see this salsa going good with all kinds of things...your pork looks perfect!
Grilled pineapple salsa sounds great!
That looks delightful!
now I'm so jealous! I don't have a grill...each time my neighbor cranks up the grill, I go crazy with the delicious smells!
I've always been curious how grilled pineapple tasted like!
Delicious. I love pork and pineapple. This salsa is great.
I'm not into raw onions much either. They stay on my breath too long!
Oh, this pork looks fantastic! I love that everything got its turn on the grill!! The more grilled veggies, meats, and fruits...the merrier!! Fabulous job. (Oh, and I love grilled lettuce, too!) Sorry I've been away for the past week; I had a good friend in town and wasn't able to do much on the computer. I'm back now, though :)
Wonderful colours and look so good with the pork! Love pineapple and pork combo.
Delicious!! So when am I coming to dinner ... ;)
grilled pineapple sounds good to me
This looks like an absolutely brilliant recipe. I love eating pork in the summer, so much lighter than beef and a good alternative to chicken. Thanks for the inspiration!

Mmmm, I love grilled pineapple!! My good friend Olga sent me to your blog. I just launched a new business selling herbs and spices. I'm giving out some free spice samples, and having a contest for whoever comes up with the best recipe. I'd love to send you some freebies. If you're interested, send me an email or leave a comment on my website.
Such a riot of colour, fantastic! This is what summer eating is all about.
