PORK AND PECAN SALAD WITH HONEY-BALSAMIC DRESSING

Serves 4.

4 boneless pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 cups torn iceberg, Boston or Bibb lettuce
1 cup hulled and sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup chopped pecans


Cooking Directions
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat.

Season chops with salt and pepper and brush with a little oil.
Cook, turning to brown evenly, until just done, 8-10 minutes. Remove chops from skillet and keep warm.

Add any remaining oil to skillet and quickly sauté garlic until tender, 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add honey and vinegar, cook and stir one minute or until heated through.

In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, strawberries, celery and vinegar mixture.

Divide lettuce mixture among individual plates.

Slice pork chops, spread evenly over salads.

Garnish with pecans.

Wine suggestion: Serve with a chilled dry Riesling.

Serving Suggestions

With fresh strawberries available in markets all year, this salad can be enjoyed any time—but it’s best for a supper to celebrate spring. Serve with warm dinner rolls.
