* Form your meatballs. My meatballs were 1 ½ tablespoons each
* Line a baking sheet with wax paper and place all your meatballs on top of the wax paper
* Place your meatballs in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes(This part is optional but if you have the time i definitely recommend doing this step)
* While your meatballs are in the refrigerator grab a small mixing bowl
* Slice all your cherry tomatoes in half
* Remove the skin from your cucumber and slice into fourths
* Add sliced tomatoes, cucumbers white wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons olive oil to a small mixing bowl

* Sear off the meatballs on all sides till they hit an internal temperature of 160 degrees (71 degrees celsius). This should take around 6-8 minutes
* In a large dish coat the bottom with tzatziki sauce creating a sauce bed
* Place your lamb meatballs on the bed of tzatziki
* Spoon your tomato & cucumber salad between the meatballs
