The salad and dressing combine wonderfully with the lamb. I followed this recipe to the letter and I would not change a thing. This is perfect for a light dinner or full lunch. The flavors are most impressive with little effort for the cook. The salad is super refreshing. I will be putting this one into my favorits file.

I had never worked with Lamb tenderloins before - this was delicious and a definte crowd pleaser. This has become one of our favorite casual entertaining recipes.
