Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
- Wash and dry all produce; trim the green beans and halve the potatoes.
- Blanch the green beans in the boiling water until tender-crisp, 1–2 minutes, then transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water; set aside.
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Add oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Cook the pork chops, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes; transfer to a plate and tent with aluminum foil to rest.
- In a medium bowl, mince the garlic and roughly chop the capers; whisk in oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
- Drain the potatoes and rinse under cold water to cool; add the potatoes and green beans to the dressing and toss to coat.
- Thinly slice the rested pork crosswise into strips and arrange over a bed of arugula on each plate, then top with the potato-bean salad and sliced pork.
Two tips
- Leftovers: refrigerate any remaining salad and pork separately; re-toss together before serving to refresh the dressing.
- Swap/serve: if you have extra green beans, toss them into the salad with the dressing for extra color and texture.
