I love a fresh arugula salad, but I love it even more with the addition of lamb.

If you prefer a veggie only salad, you can make this without meat, or if you don’t prefer lamb, feel free to substitute any meat of your liking.

This recipe calls for a leg of lamb, but you can always grill a lamb chop and place it on top of the salad. It will be delicious either way, especially when paired with my homemade blackberry vinaigrette.

In 1929, Joe Heinen opened the doors of a small butcher shop on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, aiming to establish himself as the city’s purveyor of quality meats. As customers came into Heinen’s new shop for their meat purchases, they began asking him to carry groceries as well. Joe added homemade peanut butter, pickles and donuts and by 1933, business had grown enough to include a line of produce and canned goods. Heinen’s Grocery Store was born.
