📝 Preparation Steps
1
Blend
2
Make the dressing: In a food processor (or blender), add all the ingredients for the Green Goddess dressing. Blend until completely combined and smooth, with green flecks throughout. (If it seems overly thick, you can blend in a bit of water to thin it out a bit.) Transfer 1/4 cup of the sauce to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Pour the remainder of the sauce in a jar and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Combine

Add all the meatball ingredients to the mixing bowl with the 1/4 cup Goddess dressing. Mix ingredients together with your hands until incorporated. (The mixture will be sticky. You can chill for ⏱️ 30 minutes to make it easier to work with, if desired).

Roll

Grease your hands. Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, form 24 equal size meatballs, rolling them so they are round. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for ⏱️ 15 minutes. Turn oven to broil and cook on the top rack until meatballs are golden brown, watching them carefully so they don't over-brown or burn. Check to make sure they have an internal temperature of 165°F.
