This looks wonderful! And since the romaine scare here in the US I've been buying more of the butter lettuce that it looks like in in the picture. We call it Kentucky Limestone lettuce here.
This looks great. Have a nice evening, hugs, Valerie
I could eat this right now!
...a nice refreshing summer treat.
That's a great idea. I'd have never thought of serving meatballs on a salad.
never had a meatball in a salad, but made so good ones the other day to go with eggplant. Thanks for the well wishes!!!!
Hello, I love most salads. Looks delicious. Have a great day and weekend ahead!

Salads are great, nice and light and this one looks delicious.

Perfect for this summer's day! Thanks, Jan.
Salads (of various kinds) are always on my go to list.
We love having salads for our main meal with a nice protein. These meatballs would be a nice change for us! Sounds delicious, Jan. Thank you! ♥
My husband would love this. Thanks again for another great recipe.
I'm running behind in catching up with blogs. It's been one of "those" weeks.
This recipe, along with the previous ones posted over the past couple of days, is also very tempting....my taste buds have kicked into gear! :)
Actual I've use meat in salad. Like a taco salad
This looks amazing! I am a huge meatball fan and can you believe I never thought of pairing them with salad? What a fabulous and refreshing idea! And pretty to look at...
Love all your recipes! This is such an interesting idea, to me....
Looks tasty and could be made with veggie balls for us vegetarians!
Looks attractive! Jan, thank you for your kinds words about the loss of my dog.
Really nice with vegeballs Jan.
This looks wonderful. I like the idea Lady Fi had about veggie balls, too.
Three weeks to our trip to Greece. They do some great meatballs in Skiathos. I think many use a combination of lamb and beef to get the full flavour.
Oh this is soooo good!
Turkey it will be! Thank you for the receipe and information, too!
