Transfer to the oven and roast for about 10 minutes, until just firm to the touch. Leave to rest.
Combine the ingredients for the sweet potato salsa, adjust any seasonings required.
To serve toss the mix salad leaves, half of the salsa with the lemon vinaigrette dressing, and pile onto a plate.
Slice the pork and arrange on top of the salad leaves, top with remaining salsa, and drizzle over any remaining roasting pan juices.
