Notes

This Sumac Lamb Salad is not only delicious but also a wonderful opportunity for you to get creative! If you can’t find sumac, a mix of lemon zest and a bit of paprika will create a similar tangy flavor. Feel free to play around with different greens or add your favorite toppings! The salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it’s best enjoyed fresh. Reheat the lamb in a skillet to warm it through before serving if you have leftovers. Enjoy cooking!
