Pork with Pineapple Salsa

Not only does this easy entree taste awesome, but it's good for you too. A little brown sugar, ground ginger and Dijon mustard help give the moist tenderloin its incredible flavor and the tangy salsa can be made in no time - Nicole Pickett, Oro Valley, Arizona

Ingredients:

1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple tidbits

1 pork tenderloin (1-1/4 pounds)

3 Tablespoons brown sugar, divided

2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/3 cup finely chopped sweet red or green pepper

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup juice. Set aside 1 cup of pineapple (save remaining pineapple for another use). Place the pork on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, mustard, paprika and ginger. Spread half over the pork. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Spread with remaining brown sugar mixture. Bake 15-20 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

Meanwhile, for salsa, combine the red pepper, onions, pepper flakes if desired, remaining brown sugar and reserved pineapple and juice in a bowl. Let pork stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with salsa.
