Pork Souvlaki with Horiatiki Salad

I needed a new addition to our weekend rotation and came up with Pork Souvlaki. I grew up eating this but haven't made it until today. I texted my brother to tell him I was making Souvlaki. Pork he asked? Is there any other kind?

I started with a video recipe from another Greek named Ken. This guy is a character!

There's really not too much to it. Take olive oil, lemon juice, greek oregano, salt, and pepper and make a marinade.  Slice up pork loin into 1" cubes, put in the marinade. Put the cubes on to soaked wooden skewers, cook to 135F. Put that on a pita with some tzatziki, some tomatoes, and you are good to go. 

The salad is also simple and delicious. Here's the recipe for the salad.

I have made the same with chicken. Looks excellent, and I love the salad.

That looks delicious! Seems light, and flavorful.

It's not that light after eating three skewers worth of meat!

I’ll have to try it with pork. I’ve done chicken and beef. Yours looks amazing.

Listen, the pork souvlaki is the OG of souvlaki. If you don't say any kind of meat, and you just order a souvlaki, it should be pork. I feel I can speak somewhat authoritatively on this subject.
