Greek Meatball and Zoodle Bowls
Greek Meatball and Zoodle Bowls are full of flavor and make an easy and filling meal! Zucchini noodles topped with feta cheese, red onions, tomatoes, kalamata olives and homemade meatballs with a lemon vinaigrette!
Greek or Mediterranean food is easily my favorite kind of food. It is so fresh and delicious. I could eat it for nearly every meal. I have a huge list of recipes that I want to make eventually and have had "some kind of Greek zoodles" on my must-make list for quite awhile. I finally decided to make them once the weather got nicer and am so happy with the results.
Zoodles are zucchini noodles and they are an awesome option to have for a meal instead of pasta- though pasta is great too. I topped this dish with lots of feta cheese, tomatoes, onions and kalamata olives for a Greek style dish.
The Greek meatballs are so easy to make. I skipped the egg and breadcrumbs that often go in meatballs and they still came out great. These are toddler friendly and my husband loved them too. This dish was so delicious! I loved the salty feta, slightly crisp zucchini noodles, tomatoes, and more. It tasted a lot like a Greek salad but even better. I'm sure that I will be making a million variations of this all summer long.
Many of the ingredients for this recipe were from Door to Door Organics . Their produce is always so fresh and delicious. I love the variety of produce they give you as well. It helps me to branch out and try new things.
