Inspired-Summer fresh & easy pork chops

Looking for some great tasting easy summer fresh recipes? Check out Sobey's Inspired Magazine
You can register to receive it yourself or check in stores for your copy.  I have been receiving this magazine for a while now and have tried out many recipes with great success. 

On the Sobey's site there is also a great recipe finder and you can look up recipes by: ingredient, name, total time season/occasion and more. 


First I made a marinade of
1/3 c Sensations by Compliments Caribbean Jerk Marinade
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp of fresh lime juice. (I also added a bit of lime rind with my zester.  If you don't have a zester use a box grater on the fine side and grate only the green part of the lime)

Then while the pork chops were marinating I made the tropical salsa dressing
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Oil Oil
2 tbsp Compliments honey
1 tbsp Compliments red wine vinegar

To this I added
1/2 cup each of finely diced mango, red pepper, and fresh pineapple
1/4 c finely chopped red onion and green onion
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro


I let both the salsa and pork chops marinade in the fridge for 6 hours.  Then it was time to grill and eat!  Since I had extra fresh pineapple and lime I also made the Grill Pineapple with Fruit Sauce


It was very good.  I will definitely make it again.  
My Husband said,"when are you going to make it again".
kid #1 (who NEVER eats pork chops) said, "2 thumbs up Mom"
kid #2 said,"this salsa is so good I want to eat a big bowl of it".

*just so we're clear. I was given a gift certificate to purchase the above ingredients.  The comments expressed above are my family's honest opinion of this recipe.
