Ingredients
 

For the Tzatziki Sauce

  • ½ English cucumber
  • ¾ cup plain unsweetened non-dairy yogurt (I used Forager cashew yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from about half a lemon)
  • 1 large garlic clove finely minced or grated
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Burgers

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 veggie burger patties thawed (any kind — homemade or store-bought; I used Actual Veggies mushroom quinoa burgers)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

For Serving

  • 4 burger buns (I used whole grain)
  • ½ cup vegan crumbled feta (I used Follow Your Heart)
  • 1 large tomato sliced
  • ½ English cucumber sliced
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • handful of arugula (or lettuce)

Instructions
 

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

  • Grate half of an English cucumber on the large holes of a box grater (no need to peel it). Place the grated cucumber on a towel and gently squeeze out the excess water.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, non-dairy yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, mint (if using), and salt. Stir until well combined. Taste and add additional lemon juice, herbs, and/or salt if necessary. Chill until ready to use.

Cook the Burgers

  • 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 vegan feta to lightly melt.

Assemble

  • 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.

Notes

Store leftover tzatziki in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
