Directions
Make the burgers:
In a large bowl, crack the egg and lightly beat with a fork. Add in the remaining lamb burger ingredients and mix until well-combined.
- Divide the lamb mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the lamb patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Assemble the burger bowls:
Divide the greens equally between 4 bowls. Top greens with tomatoes, cucumber, and red onions.
Place one burger patty on each bowl. Sprinkle with feta cheese.
Drizzle Tzatziki Dressing over the bowls. Top with feta and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Optionally add a couple lemon wedges to the side of each bowl. Enjoy!

Beef, chicken, and turkey burgers may be more common in America, but ground lamb burgers have a distinct flavor that marries beautifully with Mediterranean herbs and spices. We served our lamb burgers up on a Greek salad-inspired base with tangy feta cheese and a medley of vegetables and herbs, all topped with bold, creamy Tzatziki Dressing made with grass-fed dairy. If you prefer handheld version, these are equally delicious on your favorite bun.
