Pork Tenderloin Spinach Salad

---

This has been a very popular dish. It travels well to potlucks, as the pork is good both hot and cold. The dressing can be poured on and the salad assembled just before serving. This makes quite a bit of pork, but if you have any left over it is great for sandwiches or quesadillas...
