Lamb with Lemon Rosemary Cucumbers
Cut your work load in the kitchen by making one flavor base and using it two ways! In this recipe, the herb mixture is used in both the lamb marinade and cucumber dressing! Canola oil works two ways here, too, as a mild-tasting backdrop to the herbs and as a heat-tolerant cooking oil for roasting the lamb.
