Ingredients
  

  • 300 g lamb loin, trimmed and diced
  • 200 g broccoli florets
  • 150 g fresh peas (or frozen, thawed)
  • 150 g mixed salad greens (e.g., arugula, spinach)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 100 g plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp tahini (for drizzling) optional
  • Extra mint leaves for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Chef's knife
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Deep serving bowls
  • Whisk (for dressing)

Method
 

  1. Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced lamb, season with salt and black pepper, and sear for about 3–4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes until bright and tender-crisp. Add peas in the last minute. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to create the dressing.
  4. In a large serving bowl, layer the mixed salad greens, followed by the broccoli and peas. Top with the sliced avocado and cooked lamb.
  5. Drizzle the mint yogurt dressing over the salad and add tahini on the side for those who want an extra touch of flavor.
  6. Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Enjoy experimenting with this Mint Yogurt Lamb Salad! If you need to switch up the lamb, grilled chicken or chickpeas make delicious alternatives. For a lighter dressing, you can also use low-fat yogurt. This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just keep the dressing separate until serving to maintain the crispness of the greens. Happy cooking!
