Summer Meal Plan # 6

Easy dinners, one prep-ahead snack, and a peach salsa you'll want on everything

Hi friends! This week's lineup is giving big "get outside and let dinner take care of itself" energy — we've got a lightened-up pork tenderloin with a peach salsa that tastes like summer in a bowl, a coconut shrimp situation we've been making for years and still can't get over, chicken tacos that are somehow both totally easy and genuinely craveable, and a pasta salad with an ingredient combo that's going to sound wrong until you try it (trust us on the blueberries). Plus a prep-ahead snack for when the afternoon slump hits and dinner's still a few hours out. Nothing on this list is fussy, a couple of these lean into "cook once, eat twice," and all of it is stuff we actually put in front of our own families on a weeknight. Let's get into it!

DINNER #1: Pork Tenderloin with Peach Salsa | Total Time: 35 minutes | Serves: 4 | Easy to Scale
We love this simple recipe for cooking Pork Tenderloin in the air fryer, but we’re adding a peach salsa to lighten the flavors up and make dinner feel nice and summery! You’ll have dinner done in no time and it’s fantastic served with your choice of side (we usually opt for rice or salad here!)

Notes:
Short cut: The spice rub included here is good, but if you are short on time or patience the air fryer method would still work well with a pre marinated pork tenderloin from the grocery store.
Timing: Chop all of your ingredients for your salsa while the pork is cooking for the most efficient way to get this dinner on the table!
Oven: If you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast your pork tenderloin in the oven.
Serve with: This is a moment for your favorite sides, we love an easy rice here, a salad of your choice, or your favorite veggie.
