My favourite way to enjoy them is with a side of fresh tzatziki sauce for dipping! Tzatziki has got to be one of my all time favourite dipping sauces… it seriously makes everything taste better. Light and fresh with a hint of lemon and garlic.
To complete the meal, I like to serve these Greek Meatballs and tzatziki with a side of greek salad that is topped with salty feta and olives! As well as some extra crispy greek roasted potatoes!
You can also makes these Greek Meatballs and tzatziki into a bowl with greek salad and some fresh grilled pita bread! It is also extra yummy when you place the greek meatballs, tzatziki and greek salad on the grilled pita and enjoy it as a wrap!
