DRESSING
1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake well. Cook potatoes until just tender. Drain and cut into thick slices. Pour over a little dressing and set aside.
2. Cook lamb on a grill or by pan-frying. Rest for 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices and combining with a little dressing. Set aside.
3. Combine prepared vegetables except lettuce in a bowl and mix with a little more dressing.
4. Place lettuce leaves on a large serving platter. Arrange lamb around the outside of the plate and pile the vegetables in the centre. Crumble over the feta and drizzle with remaining dressing.
Note: Lamb backstrap is sometimes also called eye of loin or lamb sirloin.
