Lamb and Marinade
1/2 lb boneless lamb chops, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced fine (1/2 teaspoon dried, but fresh works best if possible)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch red pepper flakes
Salad
6 cups fresh Baby Spinach (note ( you could always use a mixed bag of greens as well for both the spinach and the red leaf)
2 cups lettuce, red leaf cut into bite size pieces
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup seedless cucumber, peeled and diced
1 small red onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1/4 cup kalamata olive, cut in half (black olives will also work)
1/8 cup golden raisin
1/8 cup dried tart cherry
Dressing
2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup scallion (white and green parts)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
Garnish
grilled pita chips
feta cheese (optional)

1
Lamb -- Mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, fresh rosemary, oregano and red pepper flakes in a baggie and add the lamb. I like to marinade the lamb at least 2-3 hours. Remove from the fridge and let it come to room temperature while you make the dressing and the salad.
2
Dressing -- Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and zest, honey, scallions, garlic, salt, pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
3
Salad -- In a large bowl, add the lettuce, cucumber, olives, and chickpeas and toss well. Reserve the cherries and raisins for the topping as well as feta cheese which is optional.
4
Lamb -- The lamb already has some olive oil in the marinade, so I spray a grill pan or saute pan just with Pam or a non-stick spray and grill on medium high to high heat. They literally, just take a minute or two on each side. I like my meat medium rare.
5
Finish -- Add the warm grilled lamb to the salad, add the chilled yogurt dressing, toss lightly, garnish with the cherries and raisins.
6
Feta cheese is another optional garnish which I like just a little, but it is optional. And Grilled pia chips are perfect with this as well.
