Lemon Vinaigrette Pork Chops is packed with flavor. It is amazing because there is not a lot of ingredients to this marinade. We grill this recipe on a charcoal grill and add a piece of smoked hickory wood to add a smokey flavor.
I like that this marinade does not need to sit overnight or for several hours. The meat absorbs enough in 30 minutes. You can easily get your sides ready while your meat is marinating.
