Grilled Pork Medallions with Pineapple Salsa

Pineapples were on sale at my local grocery store recently.  The sweet aroma of the ripe pineapple inspired me to find a way to use it for our dinner.

Since the temperature that day was flirting with 90 degrees F, I decided the only way to cook dinner was outside on the grill.  This delicious pineapple salsa was a refreshing addition to medallions of pork tenderloin, tenderized by a lime marinade and grilled on skewers.
