📝 Ingredients
👩🍳 Instructions
1
In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, minced yellow onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, chopped mint, 1 tsp dried oregano, cumin, cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form into 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs (roughly 20-24).
2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in batches if necessary, and brown on all sides for 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature 160°F / 71°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.
3
While meatballs cook, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 minced garlic clove, and salt and pepper to taste until emulsified.
4
Assemble bowls: Divide mixed greens among 4 serving bowls. Arrange diced cucumber, red bell pepper, sliced red onion, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives over the greens. Add 5-6 cooked meatballs to each bowl.
5
Sprinkle each bowl generously with crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with the lemon-herb dressing right before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
💡 Notes
For meal prep, store dressing separately and add just before eating to prevent greens from wilting. Meatballs can be cooked ahead and reheated. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
