Preparation
Prepare the seed mix: If necessary, cook the seed mix according to the package instructions and allow it to cool.
Prepare and cook the lamb: Cut the lamb loin into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan and sear the meat over high heat until golden brown and tender. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Prepare the vegetables and berries: Slice the spring onions into thin rings. Remove the seeds from the bell pepper and cut it into thin strips. Wash the berries. Wash and dry the lettuce thoroughly.
Prepare the vinaigrette: Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, garlic and mint in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Mix the salad: Combine the lettuce, spring onions, bell pepper and seed mix in a large bowl. Pour over the vinaigrette and toss well.
Serve: Arrange the salad on plates and top with the warm lamb strips. Crumble the feta cheese over the salad and distribute the berries attractively for a fresh and colourful presentation.
Nice to know: The combination of tender lamb, fresh salad and flavourful berries creates a perfectly balanced taste experience. While the lamb provides a rich and distinctive flavour, raspberries, red currants and blueberries add a refreshing fruity note and a pleasant natural sweetness.
Fruit has long been used in salads and is especially popular in Mediterranean cuisine. The gentle acidity of the berries pairs beautifully with savoury feta cheese and the freshness of mint. Together, they create an exciting contrast of sweet, salty and slightly tangy flavours.
In addition to their delicious taste, berries are a valuable source of vitamins and natural antioxidants. Combined with crisp lettuce, mixed seeds and premium lamb, they create a light and balanced meal that is perfect for warm summer days or as an elegant starter or main course.
