What a light and easy meal to make for the entire family. I love the use of fresh citrus juice. I never thought of using lime for pork. I have used apple in the past and thought of using oranges. I bet the lime gives it a refreshing flavor profile, right? I think I will use this recipe this weekend. Thanks!
