Notes
Tips to achieve the best results when making the plan-based meatballs gyros:
Head over to Publix and purchase all the ingredients, including the Pure Farmland Italian Style Plant-Based Meatballs.
Cook the meatballs in the oven following the instructions in the package. We opted for adding a little bit of Italian spice rub and olive oil.
Choose the correct flatbread. The ideal one is not too small and not too large. Those with buttery flavor are our favorites.
Use homemade preserved lemons. These lemons add tasty citrus and salty note, plus aroma. This ingredient is optional; however, it adds a surprisingly delicious flavor.
The cucumbers chosen are those seedless. Do not need to peel.
The tomatoes must be ripe and juicy. And the purple onions finely chopped.
Use fresh parsley, preferably hand-cut, not chopped.
Olive oil, thyme, oregano, and lemon juice are all staples of Mediterranean cuisine. Use these ingredients to season the cucumber salsa.
The field greens are a tender baby leaf mix.
And the final touch is a tahini dressing for a nutty note.
