I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit too oily and the lamb was a bit tough. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a lighter dressing and cooked the lamb a little longer.

This salad was a bit too heavy for my taste. The dressing was very rich and the lamb was a bit fatty. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used a lighter dressing and leaner meat.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing was so good that it made me forget all about the lamb. I will definitely be making this again, but I might try it with chicken next time.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I love that I can use leftover lamb or chicken to make it. The dressing is also really versatile. I've used it on everything from salads to sandwiches.
