Grilled Veal Chops with a Summer Garden Salad

Our land and lakes are warm from a summer of sunshine. Our fields are bursting with fresh produce. And our grill…it is ready to keep grilling what every we toss its way! We’ve flipped the burgers. Turned the hot dogs. Now it’s time to sear some chops. Chops are great on the grill. The bone adds flavor and helps heat the meat through. Lamb chops, pork chops, T-bone and porterhouse steaks are all great examples. I decided to mix it up, once again, by adding veal chops to our lineup of great grilling chops.
Veal chops are very easy to grill and have a mild flavor. I added some thyme to the chops to enhance their mild flavor. The salad is bursting with the flavors of a summer garden: fresh corn, radishes, cucumbers, and parsley in a light lemon dressing. This meal is mild, light, and bright just like a summer day.
