Instructions
Tomato and Peach Salad
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce and a dash of salt and black pepper. To the bowl with the dressing, add both sets of tomatoes, peaches, corn kernels, red onion, and cilantro. Toss to coat. Adjust seasoning to taste, cover, and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
Grilled Pork Chops
- Preheat your grill to medium-high.
- Taking 2 tablespoons of the Badia Complete Seasoning Mix, rub it into the pork chops. Place the pork chops in a large shallow dish. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon Badia Complete Seasoning Mix, orange juice, habanero pepper, garlic, and honey. Pour the mixture over the pork chops and seal with plastic wrap. Allow the pork chops to marinate for a couple of minutes while you prepare the fresh herb salad to serve on top.
- In a small bowl, toss the green onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, white wine vinegar, olive oil, and a dash of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- To the preheated grill, add the pork chops. Grill for about 4 minutes on each side until charred. This 8 minute cooking time will cook the pork chops to medium-rare. Cook the pork chops more to achieve your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove the pork chops from the grill and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Serve the pork chops topped with the herb salad and alongside the tomato and peach salad. Enjoy immediately!
