Greek burger with salad and tzatziki

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

We completely immersed ourselves in Greek cuisine. I made a Greek burger with salad. Of course a fresh tzatziki could not be missing. And while you're at it, we use a delicious pita as a burger bun. I'm definitely going to make this all by myself again. This time I chose a ready-made one from the supermarket. The burgers, on the other hand, we make from scratch, and it is also well filled, I can tell you that! We're going to work with Greek hamburger burgers.

Greek burger with salad

I love Greek cuisine. It's so fresh and full of flavor. Moreover, you can vary endlessly with it. For example, you can use different types of meat for the burgers, such as chicken, lamb or pork. Or you can make them vegetarian with chickpeas or lentils. You can also adjust the spices to your own preference. I like to use oregano, paprika and garlic, but you can also add mint, dill or cumin to the burger.

I use tasty feta in both the burger and the salad. Feta is now a protected product in Europe. Only cheese produced in a traditional way in certain parts of Greece may bear the name feta. I can only applaud that. Feta is such a delicious cheese that gives every dish that little bit extra. It is salty, creamy and crumbly at the same time. You can also combine it well with other ingredients, such as tomato, olive, cucumber or watermelon.

I always make the tzatziki myself. It's so simple and so much tastier than from a jar. All you need is yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon and dill. You grate the cucumber and squeeze out the moisture. Then you mix it with the yoghurt, the garlic, the lemon juice and the dill. You season it with salt and pepper and your tzatziki is ready! It's delicious for dipping with the pita or to scoop over the burger.

This is really a meal that makes me happy. It's easy to make, healthy and packed with flavor. I hope you enjoy it too! Let me know what you think in the comments below or on my social media channels. I am curious about your Greek creations! 

Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

You need:

Ingredients:

  • 300 gram half and half chopped
  • 1 chopped red onion
  • ½ blok crumbled feta
  • 2 hands spinach finely chopped
  • 4 small red ripe tomatoes in pieces
  • Greek spice mix
  • 1 ei
  • panel flour
  • 4 pita bread
  • little curly lettuce

For the salad you will need:

  • 1/2 feta block
  • 1 red onion in half rings
  • ½ cucumber in halves
  • ½ yellow bell pepper
  • 4 small red ripe tomatoes
  • salt
  • peper
  • olive oil
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Greek olives - i used green

For the tzatziki you will need:

  • 1 whole cucumber
  • 1 bowl of Greek Yogurt
  • olive oil
  • 1 teen Garlic
  • white vinegar
  • pepper and salt

Nice and easy: click on the logo of your favorite supermarket to add the ingredients.

And this is how you make it:

  • First prepare all vegetables as described above in the ingredients list.
  • We make the tzatziki first so that it can soak in the fridge for a while. Take the cucumber and peel it, then cut it in the middle. Grate out the seeds with a spoon. Then grate the two halves with a coarse grater. Put it in a colander and let it drain well, if necessary push out the liquid with the back of a spoon.
  • Grab a bowl and add the yogurt, a dash of olive oil, pepper, salt, crushed garlic cloves and a small dash of vinegar. Mix this together and finally add the cucumber. Mix everything together and then put some cling film over it and put it in the fridge until use.
  • We continue with the salad. Take a bowl and put all the diced and chopped ingredients in it. Season with salt and pepper and a dash of vinegar and olive oil. We also eat these aside until we are ready to eat.

The citizens

  • -First put the meat in a large bowl. Then add the rest of the ingredients and season with the Greek spice mix. Then knead in the egg and breadcrumbs and form four nice burgers. (Bread by feel, make sure it doesn't get too dry.)
  • Heat the grill and then place the burgers on the grill. Bake them until nicely cooked.
  • Finally, you can heat the pita bread on the grill, in the oven or even on a toasted grill.
