Steps:

Combine first 6 ingredients for marinade into a plastic bag. Add pork tenderloin and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat grill to 400 degrees. Saute onions until golden and soft, keep warm and set aside. Place pork tenderloin on grill and grill until medium, about 12 minutes. While pork is cooking, prepare large platter with salad items. First, place a large bed of mixed greens on the platter. Then, arrange cucumber slices, apple slices, and avocado. When pork is done, let rest for 5 minutes and slice. When ready to serve, add carmelized onions to salad, sprinkle chopped pecans, add the sliced pork and sprinkle blue cheese over entire salad. Serve blue cheese dressing and vinaigrette on the side.
