- When hot add pork and let cook for 7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through to an internal temperature of 145ºF. Remove the pork chops from the grill and lightly cover with foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Meanwhile combine all salsa ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve the pork chops hot with the peach salsa on top.
