Instructions

Directions
Combine all sauce ingredients into food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy. Place in bowl, cover and chill. Can be made the day before.

In a large mixing bowl combine the ground meat with other burger ingredients. I prefer to mix gently with my hands. Divide the mixture into six portions. Make patties approximately ¾” thick. Place on a platter and dust with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.

Preheat gas grill to medium-high, grill burgers for 4 minutes on each side for medium cooked burger.

To assemble burgers:
Place Greek burger inside of the halved pita, stuff pita with red onions, cucumber slices, tomatoes, and spinach. Pour sauce generously inside and enjoy.
