- 2 teaspoons oregano

Directions
For the Lamb: Rub lamb with oil, garlic powder, pepper, oregano, salt, allspice and nutmeg; be sure to get in between meat and flesh.
Place lamb on grill over medium-high heat; sear 3 to 5 minutes on each side and all around. Lower heat to low; cover and cook from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness. When lamb is ready, allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into the preferred thickness.
For the Cobb Salad: On a large board or platter, assemble salad greens, tomatoes, blue cheese, eggs and avocados.
For the Dressing: In a bowl, mix together oil, vinegar, herbs, mustard, honey, salt and pepper; set aside.
To serve: Arrange lamb on the salad board or platter; drizzle dressing over lamb and Cobb Salad.
