Greek Lamb Meatballs and Dairy-Free Tzatziki Sauce
By LAURAThese greek style lamb meatballs are juicy and full of fresh flavors. They also make great leftovers and can easily be meal-prepped. You wouldn’t know the tzatziki sauce is dairy free, and I love that I have a bit left over to dip veggies in or dress a salad with.
