Meanwhile, make salsa. Combine olive oil, honey and vinegar in a bowl and mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients and set aside, or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.

Rub or brush grate with a little vegetable oil and preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chops from marinade, season with salt and pepper, and grill for 7 to 8 min.

Season salsa with salt and pepper to taste while allowing chops to rest a few minutes, and serve.
