Greek-style Lamb Salad With Feta-lemon Dressing

Does “love win? Absolutely! A redemptive plan was set in motion immediately after man fell into sin – love wins. When all hope was lost, Jesus rose from the dead – love wins. God will complete the good work He began in His people – love wins! When the Lord returns, every knee will bow to King Jesus – love wins. We know that despite the evil in this world, true goodness will prevail, because God will always prevail – love wins! Love wins, because God who is the definition of love always wins!

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare the dressing, put the vinegar, garlic, shallots, oregano,
thyme, zest, and juice in a medium bowl and mix well. Slowly whisk in
the olive oil until the dressing is thickened and emulsified. Add the
feta and stir to mix. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir
again. Set aside.  To prepare the salad, heat the olive oil in a medium
saute pan until  very hot. Add the garlic and onion and lightly saute
for 2 to 3  minutes. Add the lamb and cook just until cooked through, 3
to 5  minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the lamb cool
slightly.  Drain and discard the fat.  Put the spinach and mixed greens
in a large bowl and toss with the  bell peppers, onion, and cucumber.
Add the cooked lamb and about 2  tablespoons of dressing per person and
toss well. Place the salad on  individual plates and top with the
tomato wedges and pine nuts. Serve  immediately with additional
dressing on the side.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving: 1010
