This French lamb salad is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it comes together in under an hour and feels surprisingly elegant. The tender lamb pairs beautifully with peppery greens, fresh fennel, and bright orange segments that bring a wonderful citrus zing. I love that the red wine vinegar dressing is so simple to whisk together, and the crumbly feta adds that perfect salty contrast. Lamb is packed with iron and B vitamins, making this salad as nourishing as it is delicious. Best of all, it's an affordable way to feel like you're dining at a proper French bistro without spending a fortune.
