The other night, I made this recipe with Greek salad and my Diabetic Greek Salad Dressing Recipe (click here for the recipe). 

The dressing is super simple & delicious!!

For the meatballs, I added spinach & used ground turkey because it’s what I had in my refrigerator:)

Kick up the flavor in these meatballs with lemon pepper seasoning.
