Notes

  • For a richer marinade, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the pork marinade.
  • To prevent the salad from becoming watery, salt the cucumbers and let them sit for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad. Then, pat them dry before adding to salad.
  • Leftover pork chops can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven.
