Apricot Preserves Pork Marinade and Summer Vegetables Salad

Pork tenderloin, how I love you.  You're quick, easy, go with a variety of sauces, and always come out perfect.

Really. I love me some pork.  Normally I just throw my standard soy sauce marinade on it but I was in the mood for something a little lighter, more summery and citrus so I went with a gingered apricot version instead.  Also, I was feeling especially lazy so was all about the easy. (Recipes after the break)

Salad Nicoise!

It's spring out here! Well in a few weeks it will be the unofficial beginning of summer. Once Memorial Day hits out here, it's summer for all intents and purposes. The kids are out of school until early August.

Since warm weather means room temp or cool foods, this is a tasty one. I used leftover vegetables, and steamed some not quite so tiny baby red potatoes.
