These Pork Chops with Cherry Salsa will knock yer socks off! Okay, not literally. But it’s oh so good! The best part? Dinner in 30! Easy, quick, and tasty, that’s my kind of summer meal!
Grilled Pork Chops with Cherry Salsa
We love chicken at our house, but sometimes, I just need to change it up a bit. So today? Pork. I bought these thin cut pork steaks at the grocery store the other day. Now, I usually get the regular cut, and many times I get boneless. Sometimes, I even just by a roast, and cut it up myself. Read more about that here. Going that route is great if you like saving a few dollars. But today, thin cut, bone in.
Know what I loved about these? They grilled to perfection in under 10 minutes! I don’t know about you, but we are enjoying the summer sunshine. Doing as much as we can outside. Day trips, relaxing by the pool, VBS. I just love summer. Because we’re out and about so much, a quick meal like this one is perfect. I don’t need to spend much time in the kitchen, but we still all eat a hearty healthy meal.
So, you may have seen this cherry salsa post recently.
I’m telling you, I can’t get enough of this salsa. And, I’m putting it on everything! It’s even good on toast! But today, it’s pork. Grilled Pork Chops with Cherry Salsa is sure to satisfy!
