1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced 

2 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

pepper to taste

Orange bell pepper, chopped

2 English cucumbers, sliced

2 tsp dill weed

Pork Medallions on Sautéed Squash

1 1/4 lb pork loin, cut medallions about 1 inch thick

1 tbsp oil

2 small zucchini, sliced

2 small yellow squash, sliced 

1 small red onion, sliced

1 clove garlic minced

1 tsp coriander

1 tsp curry powder

1 tsp cumin

3/4 tsp salt

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper.  Place in hot oil and cook until done, turn halfway through ( the original recipe said 6 minutes on each side but mine were still pink - I think it was more like 10 minutes on each side ) 

Remove pork to a plate and keep warm

Add garlic and onions to the skillet and sauté on medium until onion starts to wilt.  Add zucchini and squash. Sauté 5-6 minutes until crisp tender.  Add spices and salt. Stir to blend. 

Place 1/4 of the squash on plate and top with a couple of the pork medallions.
