Method

Meatballs Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

  2. 2

    Mix the Meatball Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  4. 4

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish and finish cooking in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.

Salad Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens as the base.

  2. 6

    Add Vegetables

    Top the greens with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.

  3. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Once the meatballs are cooked through, place them on top of the salad and serve immediately.
