Ingredients
Lamb Chops:
- 4 lamb chops
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Spinach Salad:
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 small red onion thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- Marinate the lamb chops: Coat the lamb chops evenly with olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

- Prepare the spinach salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine fresh spinach, sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and a bit of olive oil, then toss to coat.
- Serve: Arrange the grilled lamb chops on a plate alongside the spinach salad.
