Servings: persons

1
Whisk the yogurt, goat cheese and 1/3 cup water in a mixing bowl until smooth.
2
Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the oil, the parsley and scallions.
3
Season with salt and pepper.
4
Heat an outdoor grill or large cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
5
Brush the pork tenderloin with 1 more tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
6
Grill until charred on all sides and the internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer registers 135 degrees F, 12 to 16 minutes.
7
Meanwhile, brush the cut side of the plums with 1 more tablespoon of oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
8
Place the plums, cut-side down, on the grill and cook until charred and the top of the flesh is just softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
9
Transfer to a plate.
10
Some of the flesh might stick to the grill but that is okay, the plums will still have a nice, slightly charred flavor.
11
Remove the pork from the grill and rest for 10 minutes.
12
Slice thinly on a diagonal against the grain.
13
Sprinkle the slices lightly with salt.
14
Toss the baby arugula with the remaining oil and the lemon juice in a bowl.
15
Season with salt and pepper.
16
To plate, divide the arugula salad among 4 plates, keeping the salad on 1 side of the plate.
17
Smear some goat cheese sauce on the other side of the plates.
18
Place several slices of pork tenderloin on top of the sauce and place 1 plum half on each plate.
19
Serve any remaining goat cheese sauce on the side.
20
Serve immediately.
