Instructions

  1. Prepare the meatball mixture by combining the ground meat, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and egg in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Form the meatballs by taking small portions of the mixture and rolling them into balls, about the size of a golf ball.
  3. Sauté the meatballs in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  4. Prepare your quinoa or rice according to package instructions while the meatballs are cooking.
  5. Assemble the Greek salad by combining cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a bowl, and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Make the Greek yogurt sauce by mixing the yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  7. Plate the bowls with quinoa or rice as the base, topped with meatballs, fresh salad, crumbled feta, and a dollop of yogurt sauce.
  8. Garnish each bowl with parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
