Miso-Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Cantaloupe and Cucumber Slaw image

This is an easy dish that people will think you slaved over. Marinate overnight for best results, but it works great with as little as 4 hours in the marinade. This is great for a dinner party as most of it can be prepared the day before.
