Greek-Style Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops
• 3/4 cup plain fat-free Greek-style yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 1/2 cups diced plum tomatoes (about 2 medium)
• 1 cup diced seeded cucumber
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• Cooking spray

Preparation

1. Combine 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, oregano, 1 teaspoon olive oil, and garlic in a zip-top plastic bag. Add pork to bag, and seal. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature, turning after 10 minutes. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon oil, yogurt, 1 tablespoon dill, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, stirring well with a whisk. Cover and chill. Combine tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Sprinkle tomato mixture with 1/8 teaspoon salt; toss to combine.

2. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Remove pork from bag, and discard marinade. Sprinkle both sides of pork evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add pork to pan, and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Remove pork from pan, and let stand for 2 minutes. Place 3/4 cup tomato mixture on each of 4 plates, and top each serving with 1 pork chop and about 3 tablespoons yogurt mixture. Enjoy!
