Ingredients

1 env. (0.75 oz.) GOOD SEASONS Garlic & Herb Dressing Mix
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
1/4 cup HEINZ Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup tomato juice
1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp. honey, divided
3 Tbsp. LEA & PERRINS Reduced Sodium Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
8 lamb loin chops (2 lb.), 1 inch thick
1 mango, chopped
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, drained
2 green onions, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, finely chopped

Steps:

Mix dressing mix, 1/2 cup oil, vinegar, tomato juice, tequila, 1/4 cup honey, worcestershire sauce and red pepper until blended. Pour 3/4 cup over chops in shallow dish; turn over to evenly coat. Refrigerate remaining dressing mixture for later use. Refrigerate chops 2 hours to marinate.
Meanwhile, combine remaining honey, remaining oil, mangos, pineapples, onions and jalapeño peppers. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat grill to medium heat. Remove chops from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chops 8 to 10 min. on each side or until done (160°F), brushing occasionally with the reserved dressing mixture. Serve topped with the mango salsa.
