American Lamb Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the lamb with salt and black pepper.

   Tip: Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.

2. 2

   While the lamb is cooking, prepare the salad ingredients by washing and drying the mixed greens, red onion, and cucumber. Crumbling the feta cheese into small pieces.

   Tip: Use a mandoline to slice the cucumber thinly, if desired.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your taste, if desired.

4. 4

   Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

   Tip: Use a sharp knife to slice the lamb, if needed.

5. 5

   To assemble the salad, place a portion of mixed greens on a plate, then top with sliced lamb, red onion, cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese.

   Tip: Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad just before serving, if desired.

6. 6

   Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

   Tip: This salad is best served immediately, as the flavors will meld together over time.

7. 7

   If desired, serve with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.

   Tip: This salad pairs well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
