Ingredients

• 500 grams ground lamb
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 head romaine lettuce
• 1 medium cucumber
• 150 grams cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 100 grams feta cheese
• 50 grams black olives
• 120 grams Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill
• 1 clove garlic

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground lamb and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 2

Season the lamb with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the spices bloom.

Step 3

While the lamb is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cucumber lengthwise and slice thinly, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, freshly chopped dill, and minced garlic. This will be your tzatziki dressing.

Step 5

To assemble the salad, place a bed of romaine lettuce on each plate. Top with cooked lamb, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and black olives.

Step 6

Drizzle the tzatziki dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
