Greek Meatballs and Farmer Salad

Even though we are under quarantine. SPRING IS IN THE AIR! I love the fresh flavors of greek inspired foods and whipped up a quick batch of these meatballs. These are a great meal prep option because not only are they delicious, but they are PACKED with protein. This recipe makes 50 meatballs, but feel free to double or triple the batch and throw them in the freezer. They keep for up to 3 months!

These meatballs paired with a simple farmers salad, is my ABSOLUTE favorite quick go to for the spring and summer. The great thing about the salad is it GETS BETTER as the week rolls on because the veggies marinate in the delicious, homemade lemon dressing. Can’t wait for you to try them!
