Italians have a love for bitter greens such as arugula, which grows wild in Italy. The intense peppery-mustard flavor of arugula works nicely with these simple grilled veal chops, creating a meal worthy of company with minimal effort. Prepare the veal chops up to four hours ahead, and grill them just before you're ready to eat.

1. Sprinkle veal chops evenly with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Combine 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, lemon rind, and garlic; rub over veal chops. Cover and chill 1 to 4 hours.
2. Prepare grill.
3. Place veal chops on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
