Place 2 heaping tbsp of the meat mixture on a flatbread and spread it from edge to edge. Make sure that it’s evenly distributed to ensure even cooking and browning.

Into a very hot pan over medium high/high heat place the flatbread meat side down without any additional oil. Weigh it down. Cook for about 3-5 minutes (or until nicely browned) then flip onto the bread side and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from the pan.

Tzatziki Potato Salad Tzatziki Potato Salad
If you like tzatziki dip make sure you try this tzatziki potato salad for a classic summer treat. Substitute out the traditional potato salad dressing of mayonnaise sauce for something with a little more kick. Potato salad can be high in fat but Tzatziki is much lighter and better for those trying to count calories, whilst still enjoying this crowd-pleasing BBQ dish. Tzatziki is a Greek dip made with yoghurt, lemon juice and cucumber. You can buy it ready made or make your own at home for even more calorie saving in your tzatziki potato salad.

Salad... Spanakopita in Pita Baskets Salad... Spanakopita in Pita Baskets
All the flavor of your favorite spanakopita... in a refreshing salad! I first tried this recipe in Karpenisi, where it was served on a large platter with pita bread layered in between like phyllo dough. Inspired by that version, I decided to turn it into individual salads—served in crispy pita baskets. Perfect for a buffet, a dinner with friends, or as an impressive appetizer. Easy, quick, and full of flavor!
