Grilled Pork With Arugula-Grape Salad
This is a delicious and quick dinner. I love the way the flavors blend together with the tanginess of the the balsamic vinegar, the sweetness of the grapes, and the saltiness of the pork and cheese. On top of that, it looks like something you'd get in a five star restaurant and it only takes 20 minutes to make and costs less than $10 for 4 servings!
