- Wooden or metal skewers
For the Summer Salad
- 1 cup (100 g) snap peas, trimmed
- 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced

For Serving
- 1 cup (250 mL) tzatziki
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Greek seasoning, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the marinade.
Step 2
Cut the pork loin chops into 1½-inch cubes. Add the cubed pork to the marinade and toss until every piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the to develop.
Step 3
Thread the marinated pork and red onion onto skewers, alternating between the pork cubes and onion pieces until each skewer is full.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to 400°F (205°C) over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 12–15 minutes, turning every 3–4 minutes, until the pork is lightly charred and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Step 5
While the pork is grilling, prepare the summer salad by combining the snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber in a large serving bowl.
Step 6
Arrange the snap peas, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber on a large serving platter. Place a small bowl of creamy tzatziki on one side of the platter, then arrange the grilled pork skewers alongside the fresh vegetables. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately for a fresh, family-style meal.
