Low-fat buttermilk is surprisingly creamy; in this Southwestern salad, it's mixed with light mayo, scallions, and garlic for a perky dressing.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 scallions, whites minced and greens thinly sliced, separated
1 garlic clove, crushed through a press
1 head romaine lettuce (1 1/4 pounds), trimmed and chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels, thawed and patted dry
2 ounces pepper Jack cheese, cubed

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a small bowl, combine chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place pork on prepared baking sheet; rub with spice mixture.
  • Broil pork until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 145 degrees, 14 to 16 minutes, turning twice during cooking. Let pork rest 10 minutes, then cut into bite-size chunks.
  • Make dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, scallion whites, and garlic; season with salt and pepper.
  • Add romaine, tomatoes, corn, cheese, scallion greens, and pork to the bowl. Toss to combine, and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this salad was still really good. The pork was tender and flavorful, and the buttermilk dressing was creamy and tangy. I would definitely make this salad again, but I would use less chili powder.

This salad was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of making the spicy pork, and it turned out great. The buttermilk dressing was a nice touch.
