    OK...so I have never had roastlamb before (only in a Greek Gyro. I found I really don't like the taste of the meat. However, my husband gobbled it up! He LOVED this recipe and especially liked the onions. I got a little over 2 lbs instead of 3 and the marinade was approprate for that amount. The marinade with the mint leaves had a classy look and this would be great to serve for guests. I just personally found, I don't like lamb.

    The salad dressing really overpowered the lamb. My family was quite disappointed.
