Paired with Florida Citrus Sunrise Blend

Ingredients

For the Pork Chops

• 4 bone-in, center-cut pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

• 2 Tbsp. oil, plus more for the grill

• Salt Sisters Florida Citrus Sunrise Blend

• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Pineapple Salsa

• 1 c. fresh pineapple, chopped

• 1 large English cucumber, chopped

• ½ small red onion, finely diced

• Fresh lime juice, to taste

• Salt, to taste

To Serve

• Cooked rice

• Extra lime wedges
  

Directions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates.

2. Place pork chops in a shallow dish. Poke each a few times with a fork and season generously with Florida Citrus Sunrise Blend and black pepper.

3. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple, cucumber, red onion, and lime juice. Season with salt to taste and set aside.

4. Grill the pork chops over direct heat for about 5 minutes per side, or until nicely charred. Move to indirect heat, cover, and grill for another 4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140°F.

5. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

6. Spoon the pineapple salsa over each pork chop and serve with cooked rice and extra lime wedges on the side.

Smoky, juicy, and packed with citrus flavor—this is the kind of dinner that makes grilling feel effortless.
