Lots of different spices and a variety of fruits and vegetables that make up the salsa provide a colorful palette for this easy, impressive-looking pork tenderloin recipe. The spice rub for the pork features ground allspice, cinnamon, cumin, and a touch of red pepper flakes for some heat. Let it roast away in the oven until it's perfectly cooked through. And all you have to do to make the salsa is toss all the ingredients in a bowl, then let it hang out for half an hour. For easy cleanup, line your pan with foil and lightly coat with cooking spray before placing the pork in the pan.
