Simple ingredients, bold flavor, totally on-plan!
This 5-Ingredient Pork with Blue Cheese is a quick, elevated dinner that feels fancy but comes together in just 20 minutes. Juicy pork medallions are sautéed until golden, then tossed in rich, melty blue cheese with savory mushrooms. Served over a crisp watercress and jicama salad for a fresh, slightly sweet crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy, tangy sauce.
It’s a flavor-packed combo you didn’t know you needed!
This is a complete Lean & Green meal.

If pork’s on the menu again this week, my Lemon Rosemary Pork Chops with Arugula Salad is another 5&1-friendly favorite. And for a fun twist on pork night, these Pork Tacos pile the same lean protein onto crisp romaine shells.
