Instructions
Make the spread and salsa before moving to the lamb. Both can be made a few hours in advance, and benefit from allowing flavors to meld.
For the Cucumber Spread:
Grate the cucumber with a coarse cheese grater.
Place the grated cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with the salt, then toss and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Use a paper towel to push gently, to remove much of the moisture.
Place the yogurt in a bowl and add the garlic and mint or parsley. Stir to combine.
Add the drained cucumber and stir to combine.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
For the Cucumber Salsa:
Chop the cucumber, tomato and onion into uniform sizes. Stir to combine in a bowl.
Squeeze the lemon over the salsa mix.
Add the dill, cilantro and pinch each of salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
For the Lamb Tacos:
Preheat your grill so the grate is very hot
Season the shoulder with freshly ground pepper and salt on both sides
Grill the lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side
Cut against the grain into thin strips
Warm the flour tortillas and layer as follows:
Place a tablespoon of cucumber spread in the middle of the tortilla
Top with grilled lamb strips
Sprinkle with Feta

Serve with lime wedges
