On a cutting board chop the ingredients for the salad with a sharp knife, quarter the cherry tomatoes lengthwise, dice the cucumber and chop the spring onions and capers. Place all the ingredients in a bowl together with the olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper and mix well.
In a small bowl, place all the ingredients for the yogurt, the yogurt, 40 grams of olive oil, the zest and juice of ½ lime, salt and freshly ground pepper and mix well.
When the meatballs are ready and the sauce has glazed, remove from the heat and serve the meatballs in large individual plates, sprinkling with the chopped chives, the tomato salad and the yogurt dip.
