In this third installment of Beyond the Sandwich, we’re looking at lamb. <\/p>\n
This meal is ideal for the day after your holiday lamb leftovers and when you might want something lighter. <\/p>\n
Mediterranean Lamb Salad<\/p>\n
Ingredients:
\nRomaine lettuce
\nField greens
\nGreek olives
\nSpanish Olives (with or without pimientos)
\nFresh garlic
\nFresh basil (not the dried flakes)
\nTomatoes
\nBurpless cucumbers
\nFeta cheese
\nGreek vinaigrette (or other vinaigrette of choice)
\nLeftover lamb sliced thin
\nCracked pepper (optional)<\/p>\n
Instructions
\nWash the tomatoes and cucumbers
\nSlice tomatoes in eighths and the cucumbers into thin slices and then in half
\nCover the tomatoes and cucumbers with the dressing, add 1\/2 t of fresh garlic, cover and chill during remaining steps<\/p>\n
Wash and drain all of the greens
\nSlice about 4 long leaves romaine in small bite-sized pieces
\nAdd the field greens to the romaine and toss together gently
\nAdd the olives–about 1\/4 of each (or more to your desire)
\nAdd the feta and chilled marinating cucumbers and tomatoes (include liquid)
\nToss all of the above together to cover all leaves and olives lightly (add more dressing if necessary)<\/p>\n
Lay the above into a bed on plates.
\nWash and pat dry the basil.
\nGently lay the fresh basil in the center of the plated mixture. (Have fun with it and make a design with the basil leaves.)
\nLay the sliced lamb on top of the basil and serve. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
