Lamb with mint sauce and home-grown lettuce!

Today we got to enjoy our first fresh salad of the season and while everything else we ate tasted great, that salad was absolutely delicious!
Lettuce: home-grown arugula, spinach, red leaf, buttercrunch, black sails and bibb lettuce.
Local slices of Farmer's Cheese
Dressing: Mix honey and/or agave syrup, lemon juice, herb vinegar and olive oil to taste.

Lamb:
2 lamb shoulders (can use lamb chops too)
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1/2 cup white vinegar, balsamic vinegar and lemon juice mixture
Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Add sugar and stir until desolved.
Remove from heat.
Add remaining ingredients and cool.
Add lamb and soak for at least 30 min.
Grill 3-5 min on each side (depending on how you want it cooked and the thickness of cut)
Mint Sauce
1 cup yogurt
1 1/2 cup chopped mint
1 minced clove of garlic
dash of salt and pepper
Mix 1/2 cup yogurt in a blender.
Add mint, garlic, salt and pepper.
Cool until ready to serve.
Mix in remaining 1/2 cup of yogurt right before serving
