Greek Lamb Salad with Yogurt Dressing
Why I Love This Recipe
COOKS NOTE:
If desired, grill chops on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals to desired doneness, turning once halfway through. (Allow 10 to 14 minutes for medium-rare or 14 to 16 minutes for medium.)

Meanwhile, in a large bowl toss together spinach, garbanzo beans, and cucumber.
