Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin. Pour 1/4 of dressing into a resealable food storage bag; add lamb. Seal bag and turn to coat. Cover remaining yogurt mixture (this will be the dressing). Refrigerate dressing and lamb at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

Preheat grill. Lift lamb from marinade and place lamb on grill. (Discard marinade). Grill, turning once, about 8 minutes, or longer until desired doneness. Remove lamb to cutting board and thinly slice.
3
Stir 1/2 of mint into refrigerated dressing. Place 1/4 of shredded lettuce on each of 4 plates; top each with a heaping of lamb. Scatter with remaining mint, cucumber and tomato, and 2 tablespoons of onion. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 salads. Drizzle each with dressing and serve.
