Ingredients
  

  • Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops
  • Olive Oil
  • Cajun Seasoning
  • Iceberg lettuce salad mix 24 oz
  • 4-5 radishes sliced thin
  • 6 oz. cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 1/2 of a cucumber sliced thin and then sliced in half, if desired
  • 2 avocados sliced
  • 1/4 of a purple onion sliced and separated
  • Creamy Cajun Dressing:
  • 1 c. sour cream full fat
  • 1/4 c. buttermilk *see note below for making your own
  • 1/8 tsp. salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. cajun seasoning or to taste
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic

Instructions
 

  • Brush both sides of your Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with cajun seasoning on both sides. Grill the pork chops on high for about 3 minutes, or just until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the cooked pork chops into strips.
  • Pour the iceberg salad mix into a large bowl, toss with radishes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocados and purple onion. Sprinkle additional cajun seasoning over the salad and toss, if desired. Serve with your favorite dressing or creamy cajun dressing.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together sour cream, buttermilk, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning, and minced garlic. Allow it to sit in the fridge for a few hours before serving so the flavors can come together.
  • *To make your own buttermilk for this recipe, add just enough white vinegar to cover the bottom of the 1/4 c. measure. Fill the rest with milk and allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so, so the milk can sour.
