American Lamb Kebab Salad

    

December 10, 2015

You don’t need wooden skewers to make a delicious kebab. Here, fresh rosemary “skewers” highlight the flavors of roasted lamb, micro greens, and Middle Eastern flavors in an easy salad. This is a delicious way to use up any leftover leg of lamb.

  • Prep: 20 mins
  • Cook: 40 mins
  • Yields: 12 Servings

Ingredients

3/4 lb American Lamb leg meat, roasted and cut into 3/4-inch pieces

1/2 lb feta cheese, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

2 pints grape tomatoes (about 36)

4 oz. Kalamata olives, pitted (about 36)

4 cups micro or mixed greens

2 cups hummus

LEMON VINAIGRETTE

4 tbsp lemon juice

1 shallot, sliced

1 chopped fresh parsley

1For each skewer, thread one piece of lamb, one piece of cheese, one piece of onion, one tomato, and one olive onto each rosemary stem.
