Greek Lamb Salad With A Creamy Yogurt Dressing

• Lamb and Marinade
• 1/2 lb boneless lamb chops, cut into thin strips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced fine (1/2 teaspoon dried, but fresh works best if possible)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• Salad
• 6 cups fresh Baby Spinach (note ( you could always use a mixed bag of greens as well for both the spinach and the red leaf)
• 2 cups lettuce, red leaf cut into bite size pieces
• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
• 2/3 cup seedless cucumber, peeled and diced
• 1 small red onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
• 1/4 cup kalamata olive, cut in half (black olives will also work)
• 1/8 cup golden raisin
• 1/8 cup dried tart cherry
• Dressing
• 2/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup scallion (white and green parts)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• Garnish
• grilled pita chips
• feta cheese (optional)

1. Lamb -- Mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, fresh rosemary, oregano and red pepper flakes in a baggie and add the lamb. I like to marinade the lamb at least 2-3 hours. Remove from the fridge and let it come to room temperature while you make the dressing and the salad.
2. Dressing -- Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and zest, honey, scallions, garlic, salt, pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Salad -- In a large bowl, add the lettuce, cucumber, olives, and chickpeas and toss well. Reserve the cherries and raisins for the topping as well as feta cheese which is optional.
4. Lamb -- The lamb already has some olive oil in the marinade, so I spray a grill pan or saute pan just with Pam or a non-stick spray and grill on medium high to high heat. They literally, just take a minute or two on each side. I like my meat medium rare.
5. Finish -- Add the warm grilled lamb to the salad, add the chilled yogurt dressing, toss lightly, garnish with the cherries and raisins.
6. Feta cheese is another optional garnish which I like just a little, but it is optional. And Grilled pia chips are perfect with this as well.
