Lamb Salad with Arugula and Raspberry Vinaigrette

Go to Recipe

As cooked lamb cools, the flavor mellows, becoming sweeter and less gamey. Tim Love combines chilled slices of lamb with greens, then adds a dressing made with both raspberry vinegar and preserves. Better yet, use leftover lamb slices to make a quick and easy salad.

Grilled Lamb Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette

Go to Recipe

For a pretty blend of colors as well as flavors, Sang Yoon lays slices of cumin-spiced lamb on a bed of jicama, carrot and lettuce. "Lamb seasoned with cumin is very Indian, as well as Sichuan and Yunnan. But no one in Asia would serve lamb on a salad; that's just me being Californian," Yoon says. For a quick meal, try using leftover lamb slices.

Cumin Lamb Noodles with Eggplant

Credit: © John Kernick
Go to Recipe

The Good News Even if you're cutting down on fat, you can still eat a little lamb; a 4-ounce portion of roasted loin or leg contains as little as 4 grams of saturated fat. It's wonderful when coated in an easy olive-powder crust and served with lots of fiber- and potassium-rich adzuki beans. Plus, you can even use leftover ground lamb or cubed lamb in this recipe. Just mix in the cooked lamb with the spices and cook just until heated through.
