1. Prepare the Greek Meatballs

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, onion, garlic, herbs, and spices. Mix thoroughly, then form into small balls.
Heat a non-stick skillet with olive oil and cook the meatballs over medium heat until browned and fully cooked (about 10 minutes).

2. Make the Homemade Tzatziki Sauce

In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (well-drained), garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate until serving.

3. Assemble the Greek Meatball Power Bowl

Start with a base of rice or orzo in each bowl. Top with diced cucumber, tomatoes, and any extra veggies you prefer. Add the warm meatballs, then spoon over a generous amount of tzatziki sauce.

4. Finish and Garnish

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle fresh herbs over the top. Add a wedge of warm pita bread on the side for the full Greek experience.
