Delectable Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Mushrooms and Tomato Salad

Mushroom and Tomato Salad

I’m determined not to gain holiday weight this year! We already have several holiday celebrations in the works, so I’m going to make sure I eat light when I’m not enjoying all that wonderful holiday food. My current cooking challenge is going to help me do that. I hope you’ll join in!

This entire meal was under 300 calories, colorful and healthy. Delicious pork tenderloin, mushrooms and tomatoes with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Who wouldn’t be satisfied eating this meal?

Happy cooking!

What’s good for me in this dish?

Pork trimmed of visible fat can be considered a lean meat. Specifically boneless pork chops, or tenderloin. Pork is a good source of Vitamin C, Niacin, Phosphorus and Zinc, and a very good source of protein, vitamin B12, iron and selenium. Pork is higher in cholesterol.

Tomatoes provide a great source of vitamins C, A and K, not to mention the antioxidant and cancer preventing benefits of Lycopene. Tomatoes support colon and prostate health, and are a good source of potassium, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate to support a healthy heart.
