Charcoal-Grilled Lamb Chops Over Greek Green Bean Salad

Since mid-May I have been using my Weber charcoal grill quite frequently. I am, and always will be, a charcoal griller. Once you have tasted the flavor that charcoal gives to anything, it is really difficult to be satisfied with the results of a standard gas grill. In my opinion, lamb takes on a whole new personality when cooked over charcoal. I personally like the fact that the lamb chops “seem” less fatty due to the charring of the fat into a crisp. During the summer, I also like to lighten things up, and serve grilled lamb chops with different salads. Here, I have paired them with a Greek inspired Green Bean Salad, mixed with a home-made Greek Dressing, cherry tomatoes, and fresh Feta from the market.
