Method

Combine lamb, 3 tablespoons of the oil, oregano, basil, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl, toss well to coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.


Prepare a grill for medium heat cooking.


Thread lamb on skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before assembling).


Grill, turning occasionally, until medium rare. (Alternately, sear lamb in a large skillet over medium-high heat in two batches until medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes.)


Transfer to a plate as done and set aside.


Arrange spinach on 4 plates and top with feta, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, capers and olives.


Arrange cooked lamb over spinach.


In a small bowl, quickly whisk together remaining 6 tablespoons oil, vinegar, mint, salt and pepper to make a dressing, then drizzle over salad and serve.
