  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook meatballs until browned on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. For the yogurt sauce, combine yogurt with grated cucumber (squeezed dry), minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill or mint, and salt.
  5. Assemble bowls by layering lettuce leaves as a base and topping with roasted potatoes, meatballs, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives, and yogurt sauce.
