Greek Burger & Fries
This Greek Burger & Fries recipe puts a unique spin on an old classic! A grass fed beef patty topped with fresh homemade tzatziki, red onion, tomato, feta, and avocado: it is both nutrient dense and delicious. And I promise, once you give it a try, it will become your new favorite dinner go to. For those with a gluten intolerance (such as myself), you can enjoy this burger on a bed of red leaf lettuce or arugula. It is delicious! And you never miss the bun 😉
Greek Burger & Fries
100% Grass Fed Beef: I highly recommend opting for 100% grass fed beef for this recipe. Contrary to popular opinion, beef is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet! 100% grass fed beef, in particular, is higher in Omega 3 fatty acids and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) than its grain fed counterpart. It also doesn’t contain antibiotics or hormones. And grass fed beef is also loaded with micronutrients such as B vitamins, iron, and vitamin D. Grass fed beef makes this recipe one of the most nutrient dense meals you can consume.
Fresh Tzatziki: Fresh Tzatziki is the perfect compliment to delicious greek burgers. Tzatziki is a salted yogurt and cucumber dip that’s made of strained yogurt, shredded cucumber, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and herbs. It is light and refreshing and full of both flavor and nutrients.
Avocado:
Olives:
Yukon Gold Potatoes:
Chicken bone broth:
Herbs: a combination of spices like dill, mint, and oregano, make this recipe taste fresh and authentic.
