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.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the 1 cup yogurt with 2 minced garlic cloves and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
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.
Step 4
Add the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion to the lettuce. Toss gently to combine.
Step 5
Top the salad with the sliced lamb and dollop the garlic yogurt over it. Sprinkle with the 1 tsp sumac and serve.
