    Instructions

    1

    Preheat the oven to 220°C.

    2

    For the triangles, brush a strip of phyllo pastry with butter. Place 10ml (2 tsp) of feta at the bottom of the strip and fold the pastry end over to form a triangle. Continue to fold the triangle over on itself until the end of the strip.

    Place on a prepared baking tray. Brush the top of each triangle with butter. Repeat with the remaining pastry. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.

    4

    For the tzatziki, combine the yoghurt, cucumber, lemon zest, garlic and cumin in a bowl, and season.

    5

    For the dressing, combine the oregano, lemon juice, whole-grain mustard, garlic and olive oil, and mix well.

    6

    Combine the tomatoes, olives, cucumber, red onion and lamb.

    7

    Place the salad on a serving dish, drizzle with dressing and serve with the tzatziki and feta triangles.
