  3. While the meatballs are cooking, assemble the bowls. To a medium bowl, add the cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olives, and mint. To the same bowl, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine then taste, adding more salt and pepper as needed.

  4. To each of 4 serving bowls, place a large handful of lettuce, ¾ cup cooked rice, ⅓ cup of the tomato-cucumber mixture, and 4 cooked meatballs to each bowl. Sprinkle with feta cheese and top off each bowl with 2 tablespoons of Tzatziki sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
