Ingredients
  

Meatball Mixture

  • 1 pound Ground Lamb
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley finely chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • ⅓ cup Red Onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup Panko Crumbs
  • ¼ cup Greek Islands Dressing
  • 1 large Egg

Fresh Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ½ cup Grated Cucumber
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon Juice from half a lemon
  • 2 cloves Garlic Crushed
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup Crumbled Feta
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

To make the meatballs

  • Preheat your oven to 350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, parsley, garlic, onion, panko crumbs, the egg and the Greek Islands dressing. Mix everything together until smooth.
  • Shape 24 meatballs, 1-inch in diameter by dipping your fingers in cold water to help shape them and prevent them from sticking to your hands.
  • Place the meatballs on the prepared tray. Bake them in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until their internal temperatures reach 170F.

To make the Tzatziki sauce

  • Grate a third of a long English cucumber or enough to get ½ cup grated. If you want a thicker sauce (or dip) you can drain out excess water from the cucumber with a cheese cloth or paper towel.
  • In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and feta. Add the grated cucumber to the bowl and stir everything together until smooth.
  • Enjoy the freshly made Tzatziki or refrigerate for a few hours in order to let the flavors intensify.

Serve the meatballs

  • Serve the meatballs with a handful of spring mix or chopped lettuce, as the tzatziki sauce will serve as both a dipping sauce and a salad dressing.
