Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 large bone-in pork chops
- 4 cups mixed baby salad greens
- 1 large lemon sliced into 4 wedges
Instructions
- DO-AHEAD TIP: Marinate pork chops for at least 1 hour (see recipe).
- Prepare marinade: In a large bowl, combine first 7 ingredients (honey through thyme).
- Place pork chops in a large zipper-topped plastic bag then pour marinade over the top. Seal the bag and turn to coat pork chops evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

- Arrange salad greens on dinner plates; top each with a warm pork chop and garnish with a lemon wedge.
Notes
SERVING SUGGESTION: “Baked” sweet potatoes – no need to use the oven – just wash, but do not dry, medium-sized sweet potatoes and place them in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or until tender.
