Ingredients

Servings

Tzatziki Dressing:

  • 1/2 cucumber use the rest in the salad
  • salt
  • 1/2 cups plain greek yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt pepper or to taste

Kefta seasoning mix:

  • 1 medium onion quartered
  • 1 medium tomato quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup of fresh parsley leaves
  • Spice mix: ½ teaspoon paprika ½ t allspice, ½ t coriander, 1/2 t pepper, 1/4 t cinnamon, ¼ t cumin, pinch cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 lice bread torn into pieces

Meat:

  • 1 pound ground beef or lamb

Salad:

  • about 6 ounces of lettuce of your choice
  • 1/2 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 4 mini peppers sliced into rings
  • remaining half of the cucumber from the dressing sliced

Instructions

  1. If grilling the kabobs, soak eight skewers in water. This isn't needed if you are oven baking them.
  2. Make the dressing. Seed half a cucumber, chop, salt and let sit in a strainer briefly to drain.. Discard juices and mix the cucumber with the rest of the dressing ingredients. Store in the refrigerator while you make the rest of the dish.
  3. Using a food processor, pulse the seasoning mix ingredients until finely chopped. They will look surprisingly like meat. Remove from food processor and in a separate bowl, mix with the meat.
  4. Form seasoned meat mixture around eight skewers. Bake in a 375 F oven until temperature is 165F, about 15 minutes. Alternatively you can grill the kabobs,
  5. While kabobs are cooking assemble salads. Slice the cucumber and mini peppers into rounds. Divide lettuce between four bowls, and top with tomatoes, sliced cucumber and sliced mini peppers.
  6. Serve salads with kefta kabobs and dressing.
