Instructions
1. Toss all the salad ingredients together and turn into a serving dish.
2. Dry fry the lamb briskly until it is just cooked. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then pile on top of the salad.
3. Mix the dressing ingredients together. Turn the mixture into the frying pan and swirl it around so it heats up and dissolves the frying residue.
4. Pour over the salad and serve immediately.
