Greek Salad Dressing
We chose to make a simple dressing rather than make a typical tzatziki sauce.
Dressing ingredients
olive oil
vinegar red wine
dried oregano
pepper
Greek Salad Ingredients
arugula
cucumber ( We like English cucumber because it has few seeds and the skin isn't waxy).
fresh tomato
Yellow, red or green bell pepper
red onion
kalamata olives
feta cheese
fresh mint
fresh dill
Squirt of fresh lemon juice to serve, optional
Directions
Add all the salad ingredients to the base of a large mixing bowl. Toss / drizzle with dressing and top with the tasty Greek meatballs.
FAQs
Can I use ground chicken or ground turkey instead?
Yes if you prefer to swap out the ground beef that is fine.
Can I use lean ground beef?
Yes if you prefer or you could use a combination of ground beef and ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork.
Can I swap the salad with cauliflower rice instead?
You could eliminate the salad ingredients and just top the Greek meatballs over cooked cauliflower rice then drizzle the dressing over the bowl.
How to Store
After the beef meatballs have cooked and cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If meal prepping this low-carb meal, prepare the salad veggies and store without dressing the dressing until ready to serve. You can add the meatballs right into the salad container and store the dressing separately.
