Who misses the carbs when vacationing in Greece? We’re imbuing meatballs—certified organic, so they’re better for you and the environment—with feta (along with keto-lovin’ egg) and smoothing each serving with tzatziki. Zucchini is cut chunky and mini peppers are left whole to stand up to the heat while they go all golden-delicious. Zeus would approve.
