Receta Greek Salad Burger
Greek Salad Burger
Flavors from Greece and an American favorite hit head-on for a fabulous burger that's a fast 3 course meal in one. The patty is is 1/4 pound of ground beef and the fixings are packed with fantastical Greek salad ingredients including a healthy dollop of store bought Tzatziki sauce. Fresh whole leaves of oregano, from my herb garden, bring bright and fresh highlights to this sandwich and marries perfectly to the toasted Potato bun.
This dish is super for a speedy dinner night , especially if you have become bored with just plain old burgers and fries. You may easily substitute another protein like lamb, turkey, chicken or pork, depending on your preference. The ready to cook beef patties, however, lend to the time saving aspect and represent the dish very well. Good ole American Sharp Cheddar seals the proverbial deal for a delicious, nutritious and kinda messy meal, bring plenty of napkins!
