- 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt pepper or to taste

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
- If grilling the kabobs, soak eight skewers in water. This isn't needed if you are oven baking them.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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,
- 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.
- Serve salads with kefta kabobs and dressing.
