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.
