Island Pork Tenderloin Salad & Coconut Bread

Frugal living. It's a trait I inherited from my mother. Sometimes my frugal nature is what drives my recipe search. Take for instance, self-rising flour. I bought a bag the other day, and used 3 cups to make beer bread. Then I discovered that I already had an open bag (another trait that I also inherited from my mother). So what does one do with all that self-rising flour? She goes to epicurious.com and does a search using "self-rising flour". This is how I ended up, in a round about way, with Island Pork Tenderloin Salad. I first arrived on the recipe for Coconut Bread, which claims "This bread is slightly sweet, like some corn breads, and works well as an accompaniment for the Island Pork Tenderloin Salad . It also makes a nice island-style tea bread when served in the afternoon with lime marmalade and hibiscus tea."

While I don't plan on drinking hibiscus tea in the afternoon anytime soon, I thought I would at least try the salad, which by the way is an Epicurious Blue Ribbon Recipe. 95% would make it again out of a whopping 612 reviews. The salad was excellent. A 4 fork rating from me! I would skip the bread next time. It was nothing to write home (or blog) about.
