I love making meatballs. They are so easy to make and you can easily vary them by adding a variety of mix in's or different ground meats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are a perfect recipe for adding some protein to your meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of my favourite way to enjoy these are just as they are as a snack, as a side to soup, or with a nice mixed salad and some dressing or dipping sauce - yum!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extra Lean meat can sometimes be a little dry, so adding in delicious mix-ins like the cranberries and almonds in these, really takes them to a whole other level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as the dried fruit and nuts in these Cranberry Almond Chicken Meatballs, I also like to add in some sauteed onion, mixed herbs and of course a pinch of sea salt. I don't add an egg to these because no egg is needed. These are perfect just as they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I probably make a batch of meatballs like this at least once a week and keep them in the fridge. They are great for making in advance and will keep about 3-4 days in the fridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed these with a mixed salad of crispy lettuce, grated carrot, purple cabbage, sliced radishes and some roasted paprika sweet potato. A delicious and healthy plate of food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the dressing\/dip that I served with this, I mixed 4 tbs of fat-free plain yoghurt with 1 tbs of mayonnaise, a little lemon juice, pinch of poppy seeds, dill and parsley and some salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, if you like a sweeter dressing you can add in a little maple syrup or sweetener of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pairs really well with these Cranberry Almond Chicken Meatballs as well as this Ranch Dressing, Cilantro Lime Dress or Louisiana Remoulade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great suggestions don't you think?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
