This Lemon Oregano Pork Tenderloin is a great BBQ meat, especially when fresh herbs are in season.
I made this to serve with my Sheet Pan Potato Salad and Classic Cole Slaw.
The herbed lemon marinade is subtle but has a nice flavour. It is a nice complement to the mint in the Potato Salad.
You can get creative here with whatever herbs you have on hand. Lemon goes well with dill, or tarragon. In the fall you could go with lemon and sage.
