Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb with garlic powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Form the lamb mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 8 patties.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the lamb patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Stir well to make a creamy yogurt sauce.
In a large serving bowl or 4 individual bowls, arrange mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Place the cooked lamb patties onto the salad mixture, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the top of the lamb patties and salad.
Serve with pita wedges on the side and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Deconstructed Burger Bowl.
