Greek Feta Burgers (Miriam's rendition)

[Guest guest]

The actual recipe in the book calls for lamb. I think you could substitute any

veggie burger ingredients, and this would be delicious. I haven't actually

tried to make this yet, so I am only presuming at this point, because I love

anything that resembles a Greek salad. I just also realized, that black olives

would be great in or on these. I'll send the cucumber dill sauce separately.
