This past weekend was enjoyably hectic for my daughter and me. We squeezed in a day trip to Greenville, SC on Saturday and then drove to Atlanta to spend some time with my mom and sister for Mother’s Day. Seeing we live in Athens, that’s a whole lotta time in our car ~ time for debating the pros and cons of pineapple on pizza (are you a fan?), savory oatmeal vs sweet oatmeal, and, what’s for dinner?!
Yes, we do talk about food ~ A LOT! Hence the food blog -eh? 😊
But all that talking and driving left us with less time for cooking. When we got home, I had less than 30 minutes to whip up dinner.
As I had picked up some Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin from Walmart, along with some fresh pineapple, I decided I would slice them up (so they cooked faster) and throw them on the grill while I tried to get laundry done before the day was done.
Of course, I wasn’t paying attention to the timer or the grill ~ until I smelled the delicious aroma of charring Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin. I flipped the slices of pork tenderloin and pineapple over. Then, I used the grilled pineapple to whip up a quick and easy pineapple salsa as I thought the pork might have been over-grilled.
But, when I plated that Smithfield Marinated Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Fresh Pork Tenderloin and cut into it, the knife sliced through it like it was a slice of cake with frosting!
Perfectly marinated, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly versatile, Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is made with real, all-natural ingredients. With these 100% fresh pork cuts, a delicious, hassle-free meal can be whipped up in no time!
We are huge fans of Smithfield® in our home. I usually spin in some curry and mango, or garam masala, or pineapple, with fresh, versatile, Smithfield® pork chops for a quick and tasty dinner! As Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is perfectly marinated and perfectly seasoned, they are all the inspiration I need for a quick and versatile meal that’s ready in about 30 minutes or less.
Made with real, all-natural ingredients, Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork comes in flavors such as:
- Garlic & Herb Loin Filet,

- And, Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper.
My daughter and I enjoyed this Grilled Pork and Grilled Pineapple Salsa Dinner on a bed of sautéed cabbage. But, you can also sub in riced cauliflower or riced broccoli or these Loaded Cauliflower Hash Browns for an easy, quick and tasty dinner!

Notes
Nutrition
That looks like a perfect summer dinner! The pork looks really juicy and tender.
Debating pineapple on pizza is one of those age old questions that there will never be a right answer. It’s a love hate relationship. But pineapple salsa with char grilled pork sounds utterly delicious, and such a good combination. A perfect meal to have after a day of travelling and chatting.
My family and I adored this meal! It is full of such wonderful flavours. Pork and pineapple are a match made in heaven.
Ooo what a perfect summer dish. Loving all the colours and I love grilled pineapple! Yum.
I do enjoy Smithfield’s pork tenderloins, and I’ve gotta say that I’m a huge fan of grilled pineapple! The smoky flavor from the grill combined with the sweet pineapple is just a thing of beauty. Well done with this recipe, Shashi…and on a short timeline for dinner, too. Nailed it!
So I have to admit that I had a pang of homesickness when I say Greenville. My grandparents lived in Belton, SC, which is about 30 minutes from Greenville. I spend many wonderful summers in that part of the country!! I hope you gals enjoyed your day trip!
I loved it! SO delicious and refreshing! A new favorite this summer!
What a delicious recipe! I love how easy this is too!
