Polpeta is just the Italian name for meatball, and you'll see this on restaurant menus in Dalmatia as well. It's usually made with ground beef or pork. Typically baked or fried, it has a delicious, slightly crunchy exterior. Adding polpeta to a salad helps to turn it into a more substantial meal, and the flavor goes great with everything from leafy greens to creamy dressings. So next time you're looking for something to spice up your salad, consider giving polpeta a try!
