Place lamb in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix just until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Let marinate for ½ hour.
Form into even sized meatballs and place on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place in preheated oven for approximately 10 - 12 minutes. Depending on the size of the balls the cooking time may be a little more or less. Remove the lamb balls from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile make the salad. Place the lettuce in a large bowl. Season with a little salt and black pepper. Drizzle with lime juice and toss well. Add the onions, peppers and tomatoes and toss gently.
Place the salad in serving bowls. Top with 3 – 4 lamb balls. Drizzle with dressing of choice and serve.
