This Chinese lamb salad is one of my go to weeknight dinners because it comes together in less than an hour and tastes absolutely restaurant quality. The tender lamb pairs beautifully with crisp fresh vegetables and a zingy soy ginger dressing that brings everything to life. I love using mint throughout because it's not only refreshing but packed with antioxidants that aid digestion. Best of all, it's a budget friendly meal that feels fancy enough to serve when friends come over. The whole thing comes together quickly, leaving you more time to relax and less time stuck in the kitchen.
