Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine mint, capers, shallot, mustard and white balsamic. Puree until smooth, while blender is running on low speed slowly add the grapeseed oil to form an emulsion. Season to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Using a food processor, pulse almonds until texture is roughly the size of panko breadcrumbs, set aside.
  3. Place a non stick skillet over medium heat and allow to get hot. Meanwhile set up breading station by placing smoked almond crumbs, eggs and flour into three separate shallow bowls.
  4. When pan is hot work in batches, dredge pork in flour, then egg, then almonds, pressing to coat each piece of pork completely. Add a couple of tablespoons of oil to pan and sauté until crispy, about 1 minute per side or until almonds are nicely browned.
  5. After pork has all been cooked allow to rest and assemble salad. In a large bowl add spring mix and radishes. Feel free to add any of your favorite salad components.
  6. Toss salad in dressing as needed, slice pork into thin strips and serve on top of salad. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
