Pork Tenderloin and Quinoa Salad

I've always been intimidated by pork tenderloin, because it can dry out so easily when it's cooked. But I think this recipe is fool proof!

Pork Tenderloin

2, 1.5 lb pork tenderloins
seasoning blend*
Aluminum Foil
Rimmed baking sheet
*I used a blend of garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, oregano, and rosemary. If you don't have a blend, just slather on whatever spices you have.  And use a lot!

1. Bring pork tenderloins close to room temp. Trim and season well.
2. Place on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
3. Bake at 375* for 45 minutes.
4. Remove from oven. Let rest for 10 minutes in an aluminum foil teepee. Slice and serve.
