Grilled Pork Chops with Watermelon Cucumber Salad

Ready in 35 minutes

Serves 4 people

Recipe adapted from Martha Stewart

1 pound watermelon (about 1 small), peeled and cut into small wedges (3 cups)

1/2 large cucumber halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise into half-moons

1 jalapeno chile, halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced on the bias (seeded if desired)

1/2 cup torn or small basil leaves

2 teaspoons nam pla (Asian fish sauce)

3/4 teaspoon whole coriander seeds, toasted and ground

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Coarse salt

Heat grill to high. Toss together watermelon, cucumber, jalapeno, basil, fish sauce, coriander, and lime juice in a bowl.
Drizzle pork shops with olive oil, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Grill until grill marks appear and pork is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Serve pork chops alongside salad.
