Paleo Meatballs with a Not-Really-Paleo Asian Dipping Sauce

To contact us Click HERE

So this is what happens when all my friends are doing a Paleo diet, but I am not. I make a paleo meal, but then at the last minute I decide to opt out of making a paleo-friendly dipping sauce (I didn't want my two year old eating raw eggs in the homemade mayo) and put the dreaded and highly illegal greek yogurt into my sauce instead. And I serve the meal with white rice, too. Yup. I am that person. But you know what, it was deeelicious. So delicious in fact, that the three of us ate every single one of the meatballs in one sitting. And Ladybug still asked for more. So yes, please make these! They are good! And the method of making the dipping sauce is up to you! And yes, there will be more pale-type dishes on the blog, I promise! And I'll even try to stick to the recipe, too.
