Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cucumber, grated and divided
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup feta, kalamata olives, parsley, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until evenly blended, then shape into a loaf and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. While the meatloaf cooks, prepare the tzatziki. Stir together the Greek yogurt, half the grated cucumber, remaining minced garlic clove, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • For the salad, toss the cherry tomatoes, remaining grated cucumber, red onion slices, olive oil, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper in another bowl. Once the meatloaf finishes baking, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve slices with tzatziki on the side and the salad.

Grate the cucumber for the tzatziki first and let it sit in a strainer while you mix the meatloaf to remove excess water and keep the sauce thick. Use the same feta and olives in both the loaf and salad for consistent flavor. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over medium heat to preserve the crust.
