Sweet Vidalia Pork Loin

1/2 cup garlic minced
1/2 cup honey-glazed almonds  
1/4 cup fresh thyme

chopped

1/4 cup fresh parsley

chopped

Salt and ground black pepper

to taste

2 pounds pork loin
1 cup
sweet Vidalia onion dressing

 

2 tablespoons
vegetable oil

 

2 bags
mixed greens

 

2 vine-ripe tomatoes
sliced into wedges

 

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Crush garlic with almonds, thyme, parsley and salt and pepper, making a paste.  Pierce the pork loin with a sharp knife in several places and press the garlic paste into the openings.  Take the remaining garlic paste and combine it with 1 cup of Sweet Vidalia Onion Dressing and rub the meat with the combined mixture.  Roast for 10 minutes and then reduce heat to 325 degrees F and roast for 30-45 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes.  In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add mixed greens and sear for 1-2 minutes until the greens are lightly wilted.  Divide seared greens onto 4 plates; top with tomato wedges.  Slice pork loin and overlap a few pork slices on each plate in a semi-circle, like shingles, beside the greens.  Serve immediately.
