Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Apple Salsa
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Lean pork is a terrific source of protein, B vitamins and zinc. As the leanest cut of pork, tenderloin has only 133 calories and 4 grams of fat in a 3-ounce serving; it also adapts well to a wide variety of flavors and cooking methods. Here the pork may be grilled outside on a gas or charcoal grill or inside on a stovetop grill.

1
tablespoon chili powder
1/2
teaspoon garlic powder
2
Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
