Grilled veal chops are an elegant and flavorful dish perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. Veal is a tender and delicate meat that takes on the flavors of the marinade or seasoning you use. When grilled, veal chops develop a beautiful char that adds to their flavor and texture. Arugula and basil salad is a light and refreshing side dish that pairs perfectly with grilled veal chops. The peppery arugula and fragrant basil add a vibrant flavor to the dish, while the lemon vinaigrette dressing brightens up the flavors and ties everything together.

Steps:
- In a bowl combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and about 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes so that the salt will leach out the juice of the tomatoes.
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high-high heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it, on a plate. Place chops on plate and turn in extra-virgin olive oil using tongs and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Once the grill pan or grill is screaming hot, add the chops and cook on the first side for 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move the chops around, you want nice grill markings and a good crust on them. Before flipping the chops, reduce the heat to medium or move chops a little off to the side on an outdoor grill for more indirect heat. Flip and cook them on the second side for 7 to 8 minutes, remove the chops and let them rest covered with a tented piece of aluminum foil for about 5 minutes.
- Once the chops are cooked and rested, add the spinach and olives to the tomatoes and toss to coat. Serve the salad on or alongside the chops and spoon out some of the tomato balsamic juice from the bottom of the salad bowl to top each chop.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality veal chops: Look for chops that are pinkish in color with a fine grain and no marbling.
- Marinate the chops: Marinating the chops in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
- Cook the chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Use a meat thermometer: Cooking the chops to the right internal temperature is essential to ensure that they are safe to eat and still juicy.
- Let the chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.
