Olives

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.

Chop the Vegetables

In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives. Toss gently to mix.

Combine the Salad Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Prepare the Marinade

Cut the lamb chops into cubes and mix them with the ground beef in a separate bowl. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Marinate the Meat

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb and beef onto skewers, alternating the pieces. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked to your desired doneness.

Cook the Meat

In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and water until smooth and well combined.

Mix the Dressing Ingredients

Once the meat is cooked, allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then, cut the skewers to remove the meat and add it on top of the salad. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Combine Everything

Serve the Lamb/Beef Combination Souvlaki Salad immediately, garnished with extra feta cheese and olives if desired.
