Greek Lamb and Pasta Salad

Serves: 7

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 pound lean, boneless leg of lamb
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced, divided vegetable cooking spray
  • 3/4 cup minced onion
  • 1/2 seedless unpeeled cucumber (about 10 ounces)
  • 2 cups hot cooked seashell macaroni, cooked without fat or salt
  • 3/4 cup sliced radishes
  • 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives
  • fresh basil sprigs
Trim excess fat from lamb and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Combine lemon juice, oil, and half of garlic in a shallow dish; add lamb, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour.

Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and remaining garlic; saute until tender. Add lamb mixture; cook 5 minutes, browning lamb on all sides. Spoon into a large bowl.

Cut cucumber lengthwise into 4 pieces; cut each piece crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Add cucumber and next 7 ingredients to lamb mixture; toss well. Top with olives. Spoon onto serving plates; garnish with fresh basil, if desired
