Step 1
Cook the 1 cup yellow rice according to package directions until fluffy, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb ground lamb and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
Stir 1 tsp ground cumin and 0.5 tsp salt into the lamb. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cup plain yogurt with 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese until well combined.
Step 5
To serve, layer 4 cups mixed greens in a large bowl or platter. Top with the cooked rice, then the seasoned lamb.
Step 6
Dollop the yogurt-feta mixture over the top. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
