Greek-Style Pork Chops
I found this recipe in a Cooking Light Magazine and couldn’t wait to make it. The pork was tender and juicy while the salad was crisp and full of great flavors. It was a simple meal to make and a big hit with all of us. I especially loved dipping the pork into the tangy dill yogurt sauce – a perfect combination of flavors.
How to Make Greek-Style Pork Chops:
Pork Chops & Marinade
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 3 thick-cut boneless pork chops
- Cooking spray
Dill Yogurt Sauce:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of Greek-style plain yogurt
- 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh dill weed, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Cucumber and Tomato Salad:
Ingredients:
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
- 1/2 small red onion, diced
- 5-6 kalamata olives, diced
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Combine all of the ingredients together and mix well. Set aside until ready to use.
Heat a grill pan coated in cooking spray over medium-high heat. Remove pork from marinade and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Add pork to pan, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the desired degree of doneness. Remove pork from the pan and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Place some tomato mixture on a plate, and top with the pork chop and a bit of dill yogurt sauce. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

I love those kind of simple Greek marinades, they're good for any kind of meat. The chops look wicked good!
Great meal! I haven't made a dill yogurt sauce in a while; it's going on "the list!" 🙂
So good and so easy! Only difference is that I make the salad with feta and lime juice and forgo the salt.
Sounds wonderful! Thanks!!
My family loves Greek food. Thank you so much for sharing!

So good! I added some diced cucumber to the sauce because I didn’t have the other ingredients for the salad. I could drink that stuff 🙂
A great recipe..the next time I will use plum tomatoes as the salad was watery (but I patted it dry with a paper towel). Made shallow cuts across both surfaces on the chops for easier cooking, then cooked them on the grill. A keeper.
