This dish uses natural bone-in pork loin cutlets. They cook in minutes and always look festive and luxurious. Rub the pork with a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and oregano before pan-frying, and after frying, drizzle with the reserved lemon dressing. Serve the pork with a juicy and crispy quarter of iceberg lettuce, drizzled with a yogurt-and-feta dressing. This salad looks impressive, just like at a restaurant, and you won't have to waste time cutting it.
