Greek Meatballs with Spinach and Feta
These Greek Meatballs with Spinach and Feta are freaking delicious y’all! They are wonderful as an appetizer served with tzatziki sauce. They’re great with a side of white basmati rice. And they are absolutely delicious in a Mediterranean Bowl. Did I mention these meatballs are also gluten free, egg free, and low carb?! Even my picky toddler loves them, and I feel good about letting him eat them because I know they are made with healthier ingredients!
