- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
1. Make the tzatziki: Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate while preparing the rest of the meal.
2. Prepare the meatballs: Add ground chicken, egg, almond flour, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to a bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
3. Form the mixture into approximately 14–16 small meatballs.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally so they're browned on all sides. Chicken meatballs should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. Prepare the salad: Toss cucumber, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and dill with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
6. Divide the cucumber-tomato salad between bowls. Add the warm chicken meatballs around the edges.
7. Spoon a generous amount of chilled tzatziki into the center and garnish with additional fresh dill and parsley.
