directions
- Place pork chops in a casserole dish. Peel, seed and section the clementines.
- Place half the clementine sections in a small bowl (chop the other half, reserve and refrigerate for late use in salsa). Use a fork to press half the sections into small pieces. Add orange juice and soy sauce then mix together well.

- Pre-heat oven to 350ºF. In a small dish, blend onion powder, salt substitute seasoning and chili powder. Remove chops from marinade and season both sides with the spice mix.
- Bake in oven for 22-28 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
- Combine the cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell pepper and lime juice with the remaining clementines to make a fruit and vegetable salsa.
- Prepare brown rice and spinach according to directions on package.
- Serve each pork chop with equal amounts of clementine salsa, 1/2 cup of brown rice and 1/2 cup of spinach.
