Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound lean Ground Beef
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons Italian dried herb blend (or Herbs de Provence, see note for DIY )
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cucumber (shaved into ribbons)
  • 1 tomato (thinly sliced)
  • ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
  • fresh spinach and arugula
  • 4 ciabatta burger buns (toasted if desired)

Instruction

  • 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.
