Lamb Keftedes with Tzatziki & Greek Salad

Lamb Keftedes definitely deserve a spot in your regular dinnertime programming. This recipe is Mediterranean, healthy, and the flavors are absolutely delicious. There are three parts to this recipe, the meatballs, the sauce, and the side vegetables. I love to serve these all together, but each can totally stand on its own.
