- Cover and let the lamb marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Slice the zucchinis and eggplant into rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- Lightly coat the vegetable slices with the cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the zucchini and eggplant slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until tender and charred marks appear. Set aside.

- In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, chopped spearmint, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Add the grilled zucchini and eggplant slices.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, marinate the lamb with rosemary and garlic for at least 2 hours before cooking.
- Ensure your grill is hot before adding the vegetables to achieve the perfect char without overcooking them.
- If you don't have fresh spearmint, you can substitute with fresh basil or parsley.
- Use a meat thermometer to cook the lamb to your desired level of doneness, medium-rare is usually around 145°F.
- Let the lamb rest for about 10 minutes after cooking to retain its juices and flavor.
