Plating:
Place a bed of fresh, colorful mixed greens on a large, clean white plate. Arrange one or two kebabs diagonally above the fresh greens. Drizzle with homemade tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with fresh herbs for added color and freshness. This plating approach offers a color contrast that highlights the vibrant vegetables and savory lamb. Expect a visually satisfying dish that perfectly delivers Mediterranean vibes and robust flavors, a tantalizing seared look on the lamb and veggies, and a fresh, bright presentation that will entice any diner.
