Mango Cucumber Chops

That chop right there was all a that! I'm going to make this quick because I'm trying to get my Bigges.t Lo.ser on in a few.

Chops were on sale. I purchased them, froze them and didn't have a clue as to how I was going to prepare the amount of chops I bought.
While perusing one of my favorite sites, I came across this gem of a recipe.  Know why it is a Weeknight Winner? Marinade! Marinades are quick and easy and can add tons of flavor to meats and poultry

I don't even think I made any variations!


Mango Cucumber Chops

What you need:
  • 2-3 Pork chops
  • 1/2 cup Orange juice (yall know I'm extra so I used fresh squeezed, but regular juice is fine)
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 cup Cucumbers
  • 1 cup Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup Red onion
  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 1 cup of Mangoes
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • 1 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Orange Juice
  • Chopped cilantro, optional
salt & pepper to taste

What to do:
  • Add chops to a large bowl.  Mix next four ingredients in with the chops. Let marinate until you are ready to grill, at least 2-3 hours.
  • Make the salsa. Chop all the vegetables and the mango. De-seed the jalapeno if you don't want that fiyah! 
  • Add the lime juice, vinegar, olive oil and orange juice
  • Mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve with the chops
  • Grill the chops over medium high heat until done
  • Before serving the chops place a good ole heaping of the salsa on the chop and serve
  • Oh, be sure to let the chops rest before cutting into them!

That chop looks amazing. I'm a lil lazy though ... if a recipe has more than a few ingredients my eyes start to glaze over ...
