Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and season the pork

  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel. Cut the pork crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices; season with salt and pepper and rub all over with the Jamaican jerk seasoning. Let stand while you prepare the salad.

2

Start the salad

  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; cut the pepper lengthwise into ¼-inch-wide strips, then crosswise into ¼-inch pieces.
  • Measure ½ cup [1 cup] blueberries; save the rest for another use.
In a large bowl, stir together the honey-lime vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the bell pepper and ½ cup [1 cup] blueberries and stir to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand while you prepare the pork.

3

Cook the pork

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed.
While the pork cooks, finish the salad.

4

Toss the salad

  • Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside half for garnish.
To the bowl with the bell pepper and blueberries, add the kale and half the cilantro and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the pork and salad to individual bowls, garnish with the remaining cilantro, and serve.
