Souvlaki is fast becoming one of my fave dishes!! Juicy, tender, flavoursome meat, with a huge crisp salad, and pitta or a wrap (just add the calories). It really doesn’t get much better for me. I dress mine up with a little low fat garlic mayo or Greek yogurt with a hint of garlic, and fiery hot chilli sauce to give it a real kick.
It’s so quick and easy, is super healthy, and makes a great lunch or dinner. If you make more than you need the souvlaki can be eaten cold, the day after for lunch too. This really is Rachel food heaven!!
