 I have been brought up on a farm, so I love cooking especially with roast lamb. Salads are an important part of our daily meals. Read more

"The good news with roasting a leg of lamb is that you always have some tasty left-overs. My wife and I created this "Souvlaki" salad so we could enjoy the delicious leftovers from our Sunday roast. It's so easy to throw together and I like to keep my dressing simple - just lemon or lime juice with a dash of olive oil."

Tips from the author

This salad can be enjoyed as a main between a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children), or as an entree for 4. If you do not have lamb left-overs, marinate a fillet of lamb with rosemary, garlic and olive oil. Grill or roast until cooked - just a little pink inside and set aside.
