Greek Salad Dressing

Kofta Skewers

Method

Preparing the Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced cucumber, Kalamata olives, raisins, and crumbled feta cheese. Toss the ingredients gently to combine.

Making the Greek Salad Dressing

  1. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until emulsified. Set aside.

Preparing the Kofta Skewers

  1. 3

    Make the Kofta Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  2. 4

    Form the Skewers

    Divide the kofta mixture into four equal portions and mold each portion around a skewer, shaping it into a long, oval form.

  3. 5

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kofta skewers for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Drizzle the Greek salad dressing over the salad base and toss gently to coat. Place the grilled kofta skewers on top of the salad and serve immediately.
