Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 1 lb lamb with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat and cook the lamb until browned and cooked to your liking, about 8-10 minutes for medium. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix the 1 cup yogurt with 2 minced garlic cloves and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Halve the 1 cup cherry tomatoes, dice the 1 cucumber, and thinly slice the 0.5 red onion. Place the 4 cups lettuce in a large bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Add the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion to the lettuce. Toss gently to combine.

  5. Step 5

    Top the salad with the sliced lamb and dollop the garlic yogurt over it. Sprinkle with the 1 tsp sumac and serve.
