Mediterranean Lamb Salad Recipe

Mediterranean Lamb Salad Recipe

  • 1 pound boneless leg of lamb steaks, 1-1 1/2 inches thick (see Note)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 medium cucumbers, peeled, halved, seeded and diced
  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  1. Preheat grill to high. Sprinkle lamb with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill the lamb for 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium, depending on the thickness of the steaks. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain.
  2. Meanwhile, place cucumbers, tomatoes, chickpeas, onion, feta cheese and mint in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, oil, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and more pepper to taste; stir to combine. Serve topped with the sliced lamb.
