- Place chopped lettuce into mixing bowl. Process red onion and radish into mixing bowl.
- Add tomato and black beans.
- Combine lime juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, pepper and garlic in a small bowl and whisk vigorously to combine.
- Preheat 8” gourmet skillet over medium heat until a sprinkle of water skitters and dissipates.
- Place ½ of seasoned medallions in skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining medallions, placing cooked medallions on clean plate when cooked.
- When ready to serve pour ¾ of dressing over salad ingredients and toss to combine.
- Divide salad evenly onto 4 serving plates. Top each salad with 3 pork medallions and drizzle the remaining dressing over the top.
