    Yield: 4 servings.
    Prep: 15 min. + marinating - Grill: 10 min.

    I make the salsa and season the pork in the morning so it's ready to throw on the grill later. For a spicier topping, I add jalapenos into the salsa. —Andrea Rivera, Westbury, New York

    Ingredients:
    • 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon salt-free steak grilling blend
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 4 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each)

    • SALSA:
    • 2 medium mangoes, peeled and chopped
    • 1 cup chopped sweet onion
    • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons honey

    Directions:
    1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the vinegar, grilling blend and oil. Add the pork; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

    2. Drain and discard marinade. Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

    3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the salsa ingredients. Serve with chops.

    Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
