Paleo Pork Chops with Mango Avocado Salsa
Pork is one of the leanest proteins you can have. Cooking it in the pan with a little olive oil gives it a flavorful golden crust while keeping it tender and healthy at the same time. The mango avocado salsa to top these golden pork chops is sweet and slightly spicy, you’ll want a spoonful with every bite! You can make this salsa to enhance virtually any dish – paleo or non-paleo! Mouthwatering deliciousness!
