Greek Sliders
Description
This recipe crafts sliders from ground beef combined with diced kalamata olives, red onion, and parsley, seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The mixture is formed into small patties and grilled to medium rare or preferred doneness. Slider buns hold the burgers along with fresh cucumber slices, spinach leaves, tomato, crumbled feta cheese, and a dollop of homemade tzatziki sauce.
The tzatziki sauce is made by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, dill, and diced cucumber, contributing a cool, tangy contrast to the savory burgers. This combination yields a slider with salty, herbaceous, and creamy notes alongside crisp vegetable textures.
These sliders are ideal for casual gatherings or as a flavorful finger food. The recipe yields 15 sliders, making it suitable for groups. Grilling the patties provides a straightforward way to cook while developing a grilled flavor on the beef.
