    I've decided that this will be the summer of grilled pork chops in our house. The thought of taking a relatively cheap cut of meat, with a reputation for being dry and dull, and elevating it to something worthy of serving to company makes me a little more excited than I should really admit here.

    Pork chops, grilled with nothing more than a coating of salt, pepper and oregano, takes me right back to a dinner I made with friends in my early twenties. We were going for a Greek theme, so had a tableful of lemon potatoes, pita bread, Greek salad, spanakopita, baklava and a ton of really good olive oil. Out of that entire feast, it's the pork chops that emblazoned themselves in my memory. We took them straight from the grill and squeezed some lemon over top. Simple, fresh flavors.

    On many nights, I'd be happy with just that squeeze of lemon. But this time, I wanted to elevate the lowly pork chop to something I'd be proud to serve to guests, but still easy enough to throw together on a weeknight. And since this recipe only takes 25 minutes to make, that leaves you plenty of time to enjoy a cocktail or two with your friends. Not muss, no fuss.

    Use the sweetest tomatoes you can to give your salsa the most flavor.

        Pork chops are a staple at home, I think I cook them at least once a week. Good ones have so much flavor and I love your Greek themed topping. I'm going to have to give that a go one week!

        I love simple on any night of the week but that salsa makes it beyond appealing to me and I'm not much of a fan of pork chops!
