2 cups mixed lettuce leaves
½ cup natural Greek yoghurt
1 Tbsp tahini
1 tsp honey

Method
Rub lamb with Moroccan seasoning. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat and cook lamb 2-3 minutes each side for medium rare. Wrap in foil and rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
While the pan is still hot, add the sliced courgette and grill on each side until soft and slightly charred. Set aside.
Pre-heat the air-fryer (or oven) to 200°C. Toss cauliflower with olive oil and Moroccan seasoning and air-fry for 10 minutes.
Drain and rinse chickpeas and pat dry with a clean tea towel. Toss chickpeas with olive oil and Moroccan seasoning then air-fry until golden and crisp (about 7 minutes). Set aside.
Slice pita pockets into chips and air-fry for 5 minutes until crisp.
Combine yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Fill ½ a plate with leafy greens, cauliflower and courgette, ¼ of the plate with sliced lamb and ¼ of the plate with pita chips.
Scatter with chickpeas and drizzle with tahini dressing.
