Photo: Grilled Pork with Arugula-and-Grape Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 5-ounce boneless pork chops
- 3/4 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 4 heaping cups baby arugula
- 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese
Directions
Combine the shallot, vinegar, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and adding the rest in a steady stream.
Put the pork chops in a shallow dish and season all over with salt. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon thyme and 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Coat the pork and set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the pork until cooked through but still moist, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Add the grapes and arugula to the remaining dressing and toss to coat. Transfer the pork chops to a serving platter or individual plates; top with the salad and sprinkle with the gorgonzola.

Very easy and my friends said it tasted like a restaurant meal. I used a grill pan on the stove top and added strawberries to the salad. This will be my go-to recipe to impress people. Lots of flavor with almost no work..

Awesome favors! Quick, easy and oh so good! We added portobello mushrooms just because we had some that needed to be used. Sprinkled them with the dressing. They were a great addition to a great salad.

This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a review and I have been using this site for recipes regularly for at least three years. This is one of the best pork recipes I have ever made or ever tasted. I would gladly pay for this in a restaurant and the bonus is that it is also easy to make. My culinary skills are minimal so I just make it exactly as the recipe says and it always comes out perfect. This is one thing that my husband and I both think of when we want a fabulous meal. Highly recommend you try it!
