Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, and brush with oil.
Add pork and cook until browned and grill marks appear, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the pan to the oven.
Roast the pork to desired doneness, 12-15 minutes for medium.
Let meat stand for at least 5 minutes, then cut into 1/8 inch-thick slices, toss with reserved pan juices and set aside.
Toss Fresh Express Farmers Garden with cilantro-lime dressing in a bowl, arrange salad on 4 plates, top with sliced pork tenderloin and serve.
