Instructions

Nachos

  1. Toast pita chips in a 400*F (200*C) oven for 5 - 10 minutes.
  2. Place lamb on a baking paper lined baking pan. Sprinkle with feta cheese and heat for 5 - 10 minutes in the oven. (can be done at the same time as the chips)
  3. Assemble nachos on individual plates or set out each ingredient and let each diner pile their plate as they choose.

Tatziki

  1. Combine all ingredients.

Greek Salsa

  1. Combine tomato, cucumbers and red onion in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk together vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt and pepper. Once combined whisk continuously while adding the oil in. Dressing should emulsify.
  3. Pour dressing over tomato mixture and toss to combine.

Recipe Notes

- Leftover salsa is great the next day for lunch used as a salad dressing.

- Be sure to remove the seeds from your cucumbers. The added water from the seeds will make the tatziki too runny.

- Keep a small empty jelly or relish jar with a tight fitting lid. They are great for making salad dressings. You can dump in the ingredients and shake to combine. It is harder to emulsify but sure adds convenience. Any extra dressing can be easily stored in the fridge to use on another day. Plus they clean up well in the dishwasher.
