Set sail for the beach with these Caribbean Pork Chops with Mango Pineapple Salsa. Perfectly seasoned pork chops are topped with Mango Pineapple Salsa to create this flavor bomb of a dish!
Pork chop fans, you’ve gotta try these Peach and Dijon Pork Chops!
I’ve been eating this Mango Pineapple Salsa straight from the bowl and then I took it to another level, seasoned the Smithfield All Natural Bone-In Pork Chops with Caribbean flavor and BAM, holy mother of flavor bomb!
When it comes to pork chops, I prefer to cook them with the bone-in just like I did with these Peach and Dijon Pork Chops (which you should absolutely try while the peaches are at their prime this summer.
We love pork, especially Smithfield All Natural Pork. Smithfield is Guaranteed Tender so it’s perfect for all these pork chops recipes and these Dry Rubbed Pork Ribs.
These Caribbean Pork Chops with Mango Pineapple Salsa come together in less than 15 minutes.
I chose to cook them on the stove top but Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pork is also great on the grill!
I paired these Caribbean Pork Chops with Mango Pineapple Salsa with coconut rice and black beans which were the perfect side dishes.
When it comes to purchasing pork, Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pork is our brand of choice.
Smithfield is Guaranteed Tender which means Smithfield hand-selects cuts based on coloring and marbling, the process is USDA Verified, the product is proudly raised in the USA and it’s fresh never frozen.
I made the Caribbean seasoning but if you are pressed for time you are more than welcome to purchase a jar of seasoning. I prefer to control the ingredients that go into my spice rubs but store-bought is absolutely fine.
The Caribbean rub is made with spices that are already in your pantry. What I love about the flavors of the Caribbean is their spicy, sweet and fragrant resulting in a wonderful, aromatic dish.
Caribbean Pork Chops with Mango Pineapple Salsa are a mouthwatering, explosion of flavor!

Wow….all my favorite flavors….sounds delish! Mango pineapple salsa is positively one of my favorites paired with grilled meat, and I love the spices you chose. I would definitely serve this meal just as you have it with rice and beans. What a complete and tasty meal.
Gloria says
Combining fruit and pork is so good. Mango and pineapple together are awesome too. This sounds like a visit to the tropics. Great for dinner any night of the week.
Sarah says
Oh man- I love love love mango salsa! It just makes every single thing ever taste phenomenal, and it’s so yummy on seafood or meat! I bet it compliments the pork chops here perfectly. I need to go grab some mango!
Jennifer Bigler says
I love Smithfield pork and the seasoning and salsa sound the perfect summer dish. This is perfect for having our friends over this weekend. They will love this dish and all of of those flavors are going to be a huge hit. Yum!
Lisa says
You’re hitting on all cylinders with this Caribbean style pork recipe, it reminds me of my favorite jerk seasoning. I actually grew up very close to Smithfield, Virginia — and I totally agree that Smithfield pork is by far the best — and it’s so convenient, available everywhere. By the way, that tropical salsa sounds like the perfect balance for the flavors in the pork chops. Beautiful dish!
Dana says
This is such a fun spin on pork chops! I love making them with an apple + cranberry onion mixture in fall, but this is a perfect way to add summer flare. Pork pairs so well with sweet fruits. Can’t wait to try this!
Tracy Koslicki says
Girl I LOVE me a sweet salsa on a gorgeous piece of pork. And that sear! Perfect. Love Smithfield pork!!
Amanda says
Yes, please! That salsa looks so bright and fresh. I am such a fan of fruit accompaniments with pork, and this has summer written all over it! I, too, love cooking bone-in pork chops. Smithfield is a name I’ve known and trusted for years! I’ll definitely be giving these a try for dinner before summer ends.
Marisa Franca says
Adding something sweet along with pork is such a great flavor combination. I think it all started with pork chops and applesauce. We do love mangos and I would be eating the salsa with a spoon too. This is a terrific salsa.
