Preparation

1. For dressing, in a small bowl, stir together buttermilk, mayonnaise dressing, apple or orange juice concentrate, mustard, green onion, and the 1 teaspoon snipped sage or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2. Preheat broiler. Trim fat from chops. Brush chops with oil. Stir together the 2 teaspoons snipped sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle sage mixture evenly over all sides of chops; rub in with your fingers. Place chops on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 9 to 11 minutes or until done (160°F) and juices run clear, turning once halfway through broiling. Slice chops.

3. To serve, divide salad greens among 4 salad plates. Arrange the pear or apple slices and sliced pork on the greens; drizzle with dressing. If desired, sprinkle with walnuts and garnish with fresh sage leaves.
