    These pork chops are brushed with a honey-mustard marinade, then quickly cooked on the grill. If you use honey in the marinade for this recipe, you're recreating the honey-mustard marinades found in the grocery store.

    But like most Paleo sauces, dips, and dressings, if you make it yourself, it will be a whole lot healthier. If you choose to use maple syrup in this recipe, there will be a hint of sweet maple brushed onto the pork chops.

    Grilled Dijon Pork Chops

    You'll often see Dijon mustard used in salad dressings or in the case of this recipe -- in a marinade. Besides its strong taste, mustard is used as an emulsifier.

    An emulsifier is something that mixes two things together that don't easily combine, like oil and water (or olive oil and lemon juice).

    When making the marinade for this recipe, you can place the ingredients in a bowl and stir well, or alternatively, you can place the ingredients in a glass or plastic container and shake vigorously to combine completely. Serve these pork chops with a mash or a side of roasted veggies!
