Healthy Salad and Swedish meatballs (by a Swede)

This is how we make meatballs in Sweden :)

Salad and Swedish meatballs

Makes 10 medium size meatballs (make double if you want them in your lunchbox the day after).

Meatballs
1 lb ground turkey or chicken (chicken is less in fat)
1/2 cup chopped onions (1/4 cup if you're not a big onion fan)
1 egg (yolk only)
1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste

Salad
Fresh greens of your choice
Yellow grape tomatoes
Baby bell peppers
Red onion
1/4 cup of Feta cheese

1. Chop the onion finely and place in a bowl, mix together with the ground meat, add salt and pepper.
2. Mix in the yolk and last the bread crumbs. Roll meatballs and cook in the pan until done (around 15min depending on how big you made them; bigger meatballs more cook time).
3. While the meatballs are cooking in the pan chop up all the veggies and dress the salad with your favorite dressing.
4. Place the meatballs on top of the salad for a nice presentation.
4. Serve!
