Ingredients
Meat
- 300 g ground beef or lamb
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber, chopped
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/4 cup olives
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Season the meat: In a bowl, combine the ground beef or lamb with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning throughout the meat.
- Cook the meat: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the seasoned meat. Cook it thoroughly, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare the vegetables: While the meat cooks, wash and chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and slice the red onion. Arrange these fresh vegetables in a serving bowl.
- Assemble the bowl: Once the meat is cooked, place it over the bed of chopped vegetables in the bowl. Sprinkle the feta cheese and olives evenly on top.
- Add dressing and serve: Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the assembled ingredients just before serving to enhance the flavors and add a fresh, tangy finish.
Notes
- You can substitute the ground meat with grilled chicken or chickpeas to suit dietary preferences.
- Adding hummus or tzatziki as a side or dollop can provide extra flavor and creaminess.
