Lamburgers With Tzatziki Sauce
"These are so juicy and delicious, and the feta and green olives are a perfect little surprise with every bite! They're great on a grill or even on the stove top. Toast some buns, pile on the tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and maybe some extra crumbled feta and chow down!"

I really liked these! Similar to a Gyro, and a Greek Salad, combined in a bun! Most likely this would have been 5-stars if grilled, but my grill died long ago! I reduced the oregano by about half ~ It would have been too much for me as written! I used Kalamata olives. Made for my Preemie Adoption, Spring PAC 2012.
