Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
Four 4-ounce boneless pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Tuscan Style Herb & Balsamic Cooking Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
3 cups tightly packed baby spinach (about 3 ounces)
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Soak the shallots in cold water for 10 minutes (this helps remove some of the pungent bite). Drain.
  • Pierce the pork chops all over with a fork. Put in a shallow dish and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Coat the pork in all but 2 tablespoons of the Tuscan Style Herb & Balsamic Cooking Sauce and set aside to marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Oil the grill grates and grill the pork until cooked through but still moist, basting occasionally with the reserved cooking sauce, about 4 minutes per side. Let the pork rest.
  • Meanwhile, add the spinach, grapes and shallots to a large bowl. Drizzle in the oil, lemon juice and honey and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the pork chops on a serving platter. Top with the spinach and grape salad and sprinkle with the blue cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right grapes: Use seedless grapes for a more enjoyable eating experience.
  • Wash the grapes thoroughly: Rinse the grapes under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
  • Dry the grapes thoroughly: Pat the grapes dry with a paper towel to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach leaves will provide the best flavor and texture for the salad.
  • Chop the spinach finely: Finely chopped spinach will help the dressing to coat the leaves evenly.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. Too much dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavors of the grapes and spinach.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The spinach will wilt if it sits for too long.
