½ cup low fat natural yoghurt
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

3 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh mint, shredded

Method
- Into a small mixing bowl, add the yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic and cumin to make the dressing. Mix well.
- Put 1/3 of the dressing into a ziplock bag, add the lamb, seal the bag and give it a good shake to coat the lamb. Marinate lamb in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Save rest of the dressing in the fridge for later.
- In a non-stick frypan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Add the lamb, and cook for a couple of minutes each side, until cooked.
- Into the rest of your dressing, add most of your mint.
- Arrange the salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion) on each plate. Sprinkle with the last little bit of mint, and the coriander.
- Add the lamb to the salad, and drizzle the entire salad with some of the dressing. Serve with two pieces of toast per person.
