Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Boneless leg of lamb Cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil Extra virgin
  • 3 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp Dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 head Romaine lettuce Chopped
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes Halved
  • 1 medium Cucumber Diced
  • 1/2 medium Red onion Sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives Pitted
  • 1/2 cup Feta cheese Crumbled

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  • Add the cubed lamb to the bowl, tossing well to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the lamb skewers on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until nicely charred on the outside and cooked to your desired level of doneness inside.
  • While the lamb is grilling, prepare the Greek salad by tossing the chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese in a large serving bowl.
  • Dress the salad lightly with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
  • Remove the grilled skewers from the heat and let them rest for 3 minutes. Serve immediately alongside the fresh Greek salad.
