- Heat grill over medium heat, and lightly spray a grill pan with nonstick spray. Add the marinated lamb meat to the pan and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes. Cut into one of the larger pieces to check for doneness.

- Assemble salad bowls by placing lettuce first and topping with the vegetables, lamb and feta.
- Drizzle with Zippy Lemon Dressing when ready to serve.
