CHIPOTLE PORK LOIN WITH BLUEBERRY-KIWI SALSA

Steps:

• To grill the pork loin, preheat a grill over high heat, or to roast, preheat the oven to 400ºF.
• Combine the kiwis, blueberries, cilantro onion, and vinegar in a large bowl. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and toss well. Set the salsa aside.
• Place the paprika or chipotle chile powder on a plate along with the turmeric, cumin, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Roll the pork loin in the spice mixture to coat. Drizzle the pork with the oil.
• To grill:
• Grease the grill with grapeseed oil. Adjust the grill flame setting to medium to medium-low.
• Place the loin on the grill and cook, turning often, until no longer translucent inside and cooked through, or until it registers 145ºF on an instant-read thermometer, 20-25 minutes. Let the loin rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then serve with the salsa.
• To roast:
• Place the pork in a 7-by-11-inch baking dish and roast on the lower rack, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, and it registers 145ºF on an instant-read thermometer. Let the loin rest for 5 minutes before slicing, then serve with the salsa.
