I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this salad. The lamb is cooked perfectly, and it's not at all gamey. The spinach and pear are a great complement to the lamb, and the dressing is delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I had some leftover from a roast I made the night before, and it was perfect in this salad. The flavors are all very well-balanced, and the dressing is light and refreshing.

I'm always looking for new and exciting salad recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The spinach and pear combination is a classic, but the addition of lamb takes it to the next level. The dressing is also amazing, and I love that it's made
