Steps:
- Prepare the grill and clean grill grates for cooking over medium-high heat or about 350°F to 450°F.
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and brush both sides evenly with olive oil. Generously season the pork chops with the dry rub and sprinkle the oregano evenly on each chop, patting into the meat on both sides. Rest for 5-10 minutes as the grill heats.
- Meanwhile, prepare the tomato salad so the flavors can meld while the pork chops cook. Get the tomato salad recipe instructions here.
- Grill the pork chops over direct heat, with the lid closed, until the pork chops are well-marked, for 8-12 minutes total, turning once. For juicy pork chops, the chops should still be barely pink in the middle and 140°F. Rest the chops for 5 minutes for the juices to set into the meat before cutting.
- Serve the pork chops topped with the tomato salad and add chunks of feta cheese if desired.

GRILLED PORK, TOMATO, FRISéE, AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE CITRUS DRESSING
Steps:
- Prepare grill
- Make dressing:
- Mince enough chipotles to measure 2 teaspoons. In a blender puree chipotles, chutney, citrus juices, and salt to taste until dressing is smooth. Dressing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Cut enough corn from cobs to measure 1 cup. In a small saucepan boil corn in water to just cover until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. In a colander drain corn and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Pat corn dry and cut tomatoes and radishes into 1/4-inch dice. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled separately, covered.
- Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill pork on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it, until a thermometer inserted diagonally into center registers 155°F., 15 to 20 minutes. (Alternatively, pork may be grilled in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Let pork stand 5 minutes and thinly slice. Chop frisée and transfer with corn, tomatoes, radishes, beans, and pork to a large bowl.
- Just before serving, toss salad with dressing.

Steps:
- Make the pork marinade: Process chile, garlic, onion, lime juice, vinegar, and oregano in a blender until smooth. Rub marinade all over the pork. Transfer pork to a dish, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Grill pork until seared on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer pan to the oven; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 145 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Let pork stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa: Stir together the black beans, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, chile, and cumin in a small bowl. Serve with the pork.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If possible, use organic produce.
- Don't overcook the pork: Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the pork tough and dry.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy fat that will add flavor to the salad. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad immediately: The salad is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will fade.
Conclusion:
This grilled pork, tomato, frisee, and black bean salad with chipotle-citrus dressing is a delicious and healthy summer dish. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The salad is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table.
