Grilled Pork Chops with Garlic Lime Vinaigrette

Get out the grill... or grill pan if you're like me and not allowed to have a real grill. (Silly Fire Code!)

I'm loving the fresh tastes of Spring. This lime vinaigrette is so light and fresh, it tastes great on everything from grilled meats to veggies. It can even be used as a marinade, talk about versatile!
