Preparation
In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, basil, and dill. Rub over the tenderloin and place in a resealable plastic bag. Let sit in the refrigerator for 2 to 6 hours.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place pork on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until just a hint of pink remains in the pork.
Greek Salad Dressing:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together oil, garlic, honey, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, mix together Feta cheese, diced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber and 2 tbsp (30 mL) Greek salad dressing. Serve with sliced pork tenderloin.
Tips
Tuck the tail (small end) of the pork tenderloin under so that the pork tenderloin cooks evenly.
