Method

1. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes, to prevent burning when cooking.
2. In a shallow dish, combine honey, lemon juice, wholegrain mustard, garlic and dried mint. Season to taste. Add lamb and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Thread lamb onto skewers and spray with oil.
4. Heat a barbecue plate or char-grill pan on high. Cook skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning on all sides, until cooked through.
5. To make the salad, combine salad leaves, strawberries and avocado. To make the salad dressing, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
6. Serve skewers with baby potatoes and salad.
Fresh Tip: Strawberries don't ripen after they're picked, so choose the shiniest, reddest fruit.
