Instructions

Start by making the tzatziki. Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. No need to peel the cucumber. Place the cucumber on a towel and gently squeeze out the excess water.

In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill and/or mint, and salt. Stir until well combined. Taste and add additional lemon juice, herbs, and/or salt if necessary. Chill until ready to use.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season veggie burger patties with oregano. Once oil is hot, add the patties and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and firmed up.

Top patties with feta to lightly melt. Warm or toast buns.

Spread the tzatziki on the top and bottom buns, then assemble burgers with sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and arugula. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Buns for Structural Integrity 🍞
Lightly butter and toast your hamburger buns on a skillet until golden—this prevents them from becoming soggy when layered with the tzatziki sauce and fresh vegetables.
Make Tzatziki Ahead for Better Flavor 🥒
Prepare your dairy-free tzatziki at least 2 hours before serving (or overnight) to allow the garlic, dill, and lemon flavors to meld and intensify throughout the yogurt base.
Sear Your Veggie Patties in a Screaming Hot Pan 🔥
Get your skillet smoking hot before adding the mushroom quinoa patties—this creates a flavorful crust in just 4-5 minutes per side while keeping the interior moist and intact.
Salt Your Cucumber and Tomato Slices First ⏱️
Sprinkle your English cucumber and tomato slices with salt 10-15 minutes before assembling to remove excess moisture, ensuring crisp texture and preventing a watery burger.
Layer Your Arugula Last for Maximum Freshness 🥬
Place the arugula on top of your burger just before serving rather than at the bottom—this prevents wilting from the warm patty and preserves its peppery bite and tender crunch.
