Description
Serve this satisfying salad with a crusty roll or a small pile of tortilla chips. To vary the recipe, change the greens to spinach, arugula, or romaine. Add sliced red onion, black olives, or shredded carrots. You can even grill or pan-sear the pork chops instead of broiling.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick,trimmed)
- 6 ounces greens (spring mix, 12 cups lightly packed)
