Directions
For the pork:
- Place tenderloin into resealable plastic bag. In small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour marinade over tenderloin; turn to coat. Seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally.
- Remove tenderloin from marinade; discard marinade. Pat tenderloin with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
- Preheat barbecue on high; reduce heat to medium. Grill pork on lightly oiled grill grates for 20-25 minutes or until instant-read thermometer registers 155F; turn once or twice.
- Remove tenderloin from grill onto a clean cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let tenderloin rest 5 minutes before slicing into thin, 1 to 2-inch long strips.
- Fill lettuce leaves with some of the tenderloin strips and top with salsa. Serve immediately.
For the salsa:
- In small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Add watermelon, cucumber and avocado; stir gently to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper according to taste.
