- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh marjoram or oregano, roughly chopped, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 4 (4- to 6-ounce) boneless pork loin chops

Method
In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup of the vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the marjoram, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and garlic.
Add pork and gently massage to fully coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour.
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat cooking.
Remove pork from marinade and pat dry; discard marinade.
Grill, covered, 4 minutes per side until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145F.
Remove from the grill and allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Add chives to salad and toss to combine. Serve alongside grilled pork.
