BIG GREEK GUS BURGER AND CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
• For the salad: Mix the sliced cucumbers with the garlic, Greek yogurt, dill, mint and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• For the burger: In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, oregano and garlic. Form into four 6-ounce patties. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
• Spread the burger buns with mayonnaise. Layer the bun bottoms with a burger patty, a roasted tomato, and then some red onions and feta. Cover with the bun tops. Serve with cucumber salad on the side.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the tomatoes in half through the meridian and place cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and oregano. Roast until the tomatoes are beginning to collapse and have browned a bit on top, about 2 hours.

TACO BURGERS WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk sugar into jalapeno liquid until dissolved. Cut 4 slices tomato and reserve for burgers. Cut remaining tomato into 3/4-inch pieces and add to dressing. Stir in cucumber and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
• In another medium bowl, combine beef and chili powder. Form into 4 patties and season with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook burgers over medium-high until cooked through, about 8 minutes total, flipping once. Serve burgers on buns with tomato slices, pickled jalapenos, and shredded lettuce, alongside cucumber salad.
