1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed

5 cups chopped escarole

1 1/3 cups thinly diagonally sliced celery

2 cups thinly sliced red Bartlett or Comice pear (about 2)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. Combine pecans and canola oil in a small bowl; toss well. Place pecans on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and sugar. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes.

3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

4. Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk.
