Ingredients
burger patties
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese crumbled
- 2 teaspoons garlic or 1 teaspoon garlic powder, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons italian herb blend or Herbs de Provence, see note for DIY, dried
- ½ teaspoon black pepper cracked
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes crushed
tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, cracked
- 1 teaspoon mint finely chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon dill finely chopped, fresh
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
toppings
- ½ cucumber shaved into ribbons
- 1 tomato thinly sliced
- ½ red onion thinly sliced
- spinach fresh
- arugula fresh
- 4 ciabatta buns toasted if desired, burger style
Instructions
- Stir together all ingredients for the tzatziki. Cover and chill until ready to use.
- Prepare the burger patties by combining all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix by hand then divide into four equal sections, roll each into a ball then press into a 5-inch round patty.
- Preheat your grill to medium. Place patties on the grill a few inches apart to ensure even cooking. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then use a metal spatula to flip and cook another 5-6 minutes on the other side until desired doneness is achieved. Allow to rest on a plate (covered) for 5 minutes before assembling burgers.
- Assemble the burger patties on the ciabatta buns, top with tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, onions, fresh spinach and arugula, and cucumber ribbons. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Homemade herb blend - stir together 1/2 teaspoon each: dried thyme, dried oregano, dried basil, dried parsley
