dinner under $5 well actually it was under $5 for me because I had some of the things at home but I still calculated it out for me it costed $448 but if you add everything together it actually came out to $5.77 but it doesn’t really matter what you put in your salad we’re kind of focusing on the meat and the parsley was free because it grows in my garden but um the main ingredient is going to be Mediterranean meatball mediterranean meatball salad basically so I got this um beef pack uh it doesn’t matter what kind you use but I’m only using half of it for this recipe feeding two people the other half is going to marinate overnight and tomorrow I’m going to make stuffed bell pepper with it so it saves and of course the eggs i also had it at home i totally forgot about it but anyways um half teaspoon salt black pepper to taste I added about four cloves of garlic and about a teaspoon of smoked paprika rasel hanut thanks to the lunchbox season it shows what kind of spicing is in in this seasoning because I love this and it can have up to 21 seasoning it is insane it’s a Moroccan spice it is so delicious you can get it on Amazon or usually in Mediterranean um international um international stores yeah you I try to always use a glove when mixing meat just because I don’t like the fat residue on my hand but then I’m going to crack an agony and two tablespoons of bread crumbs which I also had in the fridge i made this from like the edges of the bread i dried it and then blended it and then put it in the ziplo and it’s in my fridge so whenever I need breadcrumbs it’s already there i’m using a little scoop to scoop these and I’m going to air fry it on the beef setting for about 9 minutes so like 380 for 9 minutes but um so half of the beef costed $3.36 you can probably find cheaper one if you buy it in bulk the bell pepper one single bell pepper would have been 89 the lettuce that I’m using I actually got at Publix buy one get one free um but I still calculated as if only one bag was used um that came out to $112 and a cucumber to 16 cents and the tomatoes to 24 cents but these are things I already had at home so I didn’t need to spend money for this exact thing but like I said for your salad just throw in whatever you have at home or whatever you like because a lot of people don’t like tomatoes so they might want to skip on that just chopping up everything nothing special so just a basic salad these are the mixes that I got buy one get one free and each of it has about five serving or at least for me like for the amount I eat um so it’s 10 servings for the two bags and I hate these big leaves anyways super easy just whatever you have at home really um it’s good calories you know for our dressing I’m using about a tablespoon of olive oil a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar black pepper to taste a big fat pinch of salt and a small spoon of mustard mix it until it looks like it’s all combined and I always add it to my salad just before serving so it doesn’t make the veggies soggy if it sits there with the sauce on it it’s going to get soggy in 10ish minutes which I did not love but every drop has to be used because this is a really delicious super easy super quick sauce to basically any salad and this is half and half so salad for two people is done and my meatballs are also done beautiful ready to serve and eat so I halfed it half in one plate half on the other and a little bit of parsley on top and I found some sauce I brought from Europe that I just throw on top of it it’s for meat but that was a super easy um dinner or even lunch idea it filled me up until next day so it might look like it’s not a lot but it is a lot like maybe a little bit too much meat but it was delicious and very affordable to make so try it out
