Don’t let summer go by without trying these Greek-inspired burgers!
Combine garlicky sautéed spinach, briny feta and sweet-tart sun-dried tomatoes with Heinen’s CARE Certified ground beef to make flavor-packed patties perfect for a Mediterranean-inspired dinner.
Serve the burgers on Heinen’s pillowy fresh brioche buns and don’t forget a dollop of Heinen’s cucumber hummus on top. It’s an unlikely burger topping that offers a light and refreshing contrast to the savory burgers.
They’d also be great served with a classic Greek cucumber yogurt dip, known as tzatziki.
