Ingredients
  

Meatballs

  • 12 oz ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Lettuce Wrap Ingredients

  • 6 large lettuce wraps
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (sliced)
  • 1/4 cup cucumber

Yogurt dip

  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup cucumbers (finley diced)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp dried dill

Optional

  • 1.5 cups grapes (or choice of fruit)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the Air Fryer for about 5 minutes at 360F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, eggs, seasonings, garlic, and ricotta. Use a fork or whisk to mix everything together. Next, add the chopped herbs and fold them in well.
  • Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into meatballs. You can use a small ice cream scoop or 2 spoons to portion out the meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter). Arrange the meatballs into the Air Fryer Basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other. Coat them with cooking spray and cook them in the Air fryer for about 12 to 15 minutes at 360F. Flip them halfway through until they are browned and cooked through an internal temperature of 165F.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the yogurt sauce. Once cooked, serve with lettuce wraps and top them off with fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.
  • Serve with the yogurt sauce and your choice of fruit.
