Warm Lamb Salad With Minted Dressing
This salad is what summertime is all about. Throw on anything you have in the fridge grill it first or not throw flavour at it, but get the lamb right
I know lamb can be divisive. It's a love or hate situation. Of course I am in the love camp. As long as it is cooked perfectly. Don't be afraid to rest the lamb after cooking for as long as you like. For this salad it doesn't have to be hot. So cook the lamb, cover it and make the rest while it rests. You will love what happens to flavour and texture when it is rested properly.
Summer is here, this is an oldie that we have updated because it is SO delicious. We hope you love it.
