How To Make Pork Tenderloin Whole30-Friendly

Pork tenderloin is naturally Whole30-friendly because it’s a lean cut of meat with no added sugars, grains, dairy, or processed ingredients. What really matters, however, is how the pork is prepared.

To keep it Whole30-approved, it’s important to avoid marinades or sauces that contain added sugar, soy, or other non-compliant ingredients. Instead, this recipe uses Whole30-approved spices, walnuts, and a homemade vinaigrette dressing for bold, natural flavor.
