Roasted Pork Fajita Salad with Coconut Lime Dressing

This Roasted Pork Fajita Salad with Coconut Lime Dressing recipe transforms pork tenderloin into a healthy Paleo salad meal that will have your guests coming back for seconds. These pork fajitas are made with tender roasted pork and vegetables and topped with a creamy coconut dressing that does a wonderful job of complementing the spices. You can deconstruct this recipe from a salad and easily turn it into a more traditional fajita recipe that is served on Paleo plantain tortillas instead of corn or flour tortillas, both of which are excluded on the Paleo diet.
