Greek Meatballs with Tzatziki and Greek Salad

It's Greek night at the Covingtons! These meatballs have a great flavor, that goes great with the yogurt Tzatziki sauce. The light Greek salad balanced out the meatballs nicely. I was going to serve this meal with Pita bread, but decided to try it with a great bread known as Naan, it's actually Indian, not Greek, but went great with this meal.

Greek Meatballs
1.5 cups bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 an egg
3/4 pound lean ground beef
3/4 ground pork
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3/4 cup feta
1 tbs oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Stir together breadcrumbs and milk, let stand ten minutes. Puree onion, garlic, and egg. Mix breadcrumbs together with onion/garlic puree. Add ground beef/pork, salt/pepper, feta, oregano, and red pepper flakes and form a uniform mixture. Roll into about 40 meatballs and broil on a lightly sprayed baking sheet at 425 for about 14 minutes or cooked all the way through and brown on top.

Tzatziki
3/4 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
1/2 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated
1 tsp grated lemon zest
3 tbs finely chopped mint
2 tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. And Woo-laa: Tzatziki!

Cut up veggies and mix together in a large salad bowl. Whisk together all dressing ingredients, and pour on top (you won't need all of it).

Serve meatballs with Tzatziki, Naan, and Greek Salad.
