  3. Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill for 20 minutes or until thermometer registers 155 degrees (slightly pink), turning pork occasionally. Transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut pork crosswise into thin slices.

Place bell pepper and chiles in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand for 10 minutes. Remove pepper and chiles from bag. Seed chiles, and finely chop. Chop pineapple. Place pepper, chiles, and pineapple in a bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss. Arrange 2 lettuce leaves on each of 6 plates. Divide pork evenly among salads. Spoon 1/2 cup pineapple mixture over each serving, and sprinkle each serving with 2 tablespoons avocado. Serve immediately.
