Instructions

Make the Meatballs: Mix ground beef, garlic, onions, breadcrumbs, baking soda, herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for 2 hours, then roll into meatballs. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30–40 minutes or cook in a skillet for 10–15 minutes.
Make the Roasted Potatoes: Toss potato wedges with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 40-60 minutes, flipping halfway.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce: Combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill or mint, olive oil, and salt. Chill until ready to serve.
Build the Bowl: Layer lettuce, Greek salad, roasted potatoes, meatballs, and tzatziki. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Refrigerate meatball mixture for best texture.
Squeeze cucumber well to avoid watery tzatziki.
Adjust seasoning to taste.
