Ingredients

Method

1
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper, then sear it in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes total.
2
Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking the pork until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, about 12-15 minutes longer.
15 minutes
3
Transfer the cooked pork to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into 1/4-inch thick slices.
4
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, grated orange peel, and unsweetened orange juice until well combined.
5
Slowly whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the vinaigrette mixture to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, sliced strawberries, and halved grapes, then drizzle with the balsamic vinaigrette and gently toss until evenly coated.
7
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates as the base. Top with the dressed rice salad mixture.
8
Arrange the sliced pork tenderloin over the rice salad, then sprinkle the toasted flaked coconut over the top just before serving.
