This lamb salad is just what you need if you have leftover grilled or roast leg of lamb from a dinner party or holiday celebration. The lamb anchors a salad that is already fairly substantial, with artichokes, kalamata olives, cucumber, tomatoes, and feta. Serve it with grilled or toasted pita bread alongside, and pour a glass of wine to enjoy along with it.
