Ingredients:

Directions:

1

Whisk the yogurt, goat cheese and 1/3 cup water in a mixing bowl until smooth

2

Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the oil, the parsley and scallions

3

Season with salt and pepper

4

Heat an outdoor grill or large cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat

5

Brush the pork tenderloin with 1 more tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper

6

Grill until charred on all sides and the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees F, 12 to 16 minutes

7

Meanwhile, brush the cut side of the plums with 1 more tablespoon of oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper

8

Place the plums, cut-side down, on the grill and cook until charred and the top of the flesh is just softened, 3 to 4 minutes

9

Transfer to a plate

10

Some of the flesh might stick to the grill but that is okay, the plums will still have a nice, slightly charred flavor

11

Remove the pork from the grill and rest for 10 minutes

12

Slice thinly on a diagonal against the grain

13

Sprinkle the slices lightly with salt

14

Toss the baby arugula with the remaining oil and the lemon juice in a bowl

15

Season with salt and pepper

16

To plate, divide the arugula salad among 4 plates, keeping the salad on 1 side of the plate

17

Smear some goat cheese sauce on the other side of the plates

18

Place several slices of pork tenderloin on top of the sauce and place 1 plum half on each plate

19

Serve any remaining goat cheese sauce on the side

20

Serve immediately
