Pork With Cucumber Pico De Gallo
Nothing says Mexican food quite like authentic pico de gallo! This easy-to-make fresh salsa is a perfect complement to pork cutlets in this low-carb homemade meal.

Ingredients
1/2 of a medium unpeeled cucumber, seeded* and finely chopped (4 ounces total)
2 medium tomatillos, papery skin removed, rinsed and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1-2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 boneless center cut pork cutlets, trimmed of fat (about 1 pound)
Nonstick cooking spray

Directions
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 3 ounces pork and 1/4 cup cucumber mixture per serving

1. Combine cucumber, tomatillos, cilantro, red pepper flakes, lime juice, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Toss gently to blend. Set aside.

2. Coat pork chops evenly with the black pepper and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.

3. Place a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot. Coat skillet with cooking spray. Add pork and immediately reduce heat to medium. Cook 5 minutes. Turn and cook 4 to 5 minutes longer, or until barely pink in center.

*Note: To seed a cucumber easily, split cucumber in half lengthwise. Run the tip of a teaspoon down the center to remove seeds. This prevents the dish from being too watery and diluting the flavors.
