A simple chili spice rub transforms lean pork tenderloin into a juicy rich-seeming dish. Coating the pork with the rub then allowing it to stand in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours before grilling helps it form a delicious smoky crust. While you’ve got your grill fired-up, add some romaine lettuce hearts to the hot grates to make a wilted salad. Cut each heart lengthwise, brush both sides lightly with oil, rub with minced garlic and grill 1 to 3 minutes per side or until well-marked yet still crisp-tender. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little lime juice to finish the salad.
