Summertime is in full swing here in Southern California. We hit our first 100F of the year and it’s officially grill season — or maybe I should say burger season!

This is the first burger in a series of burgers I plan to share over the next few months and it’s a good one. It’s well seasoned and you can top it with anything you like. Pictured is feta cheese, chopped olives and mint, but putting a slice of goat cheese on top is mind-blowing!

I don’t often buy lamb because it’s pricey, so I mixed the ground lamb with an equal portion of ground beef — I didn’t want my kids complaining about the gamy-taste. And, these lamb burgers did not disappoint! My kids loved them, but still asked for ketchup on them… Doh! By the way, lamb is considered a “game” animal. Did you know that? I didn’t until several days ago.

I really like the Mediterranean flavors that come together with this dish – the lamb burgers, briney olives, sweet tomatoes, refreshing cucumbers, salty feta cheese and mint. And as I already mentioned, it’s a nice change from the usual burger. Delish!

Now, do you have a burger press? I purchased mine a few years ago and LOVE IT! My husband does, too. It makes perfectly shaped patties with an even thickness. I spray mine with baking spray to help the formed patties come out a little bit easier. But giving it a few gentle taps will do the job, too. It’s one of my favorite things!

The Low Carb Greek Lamb Burgers and salad are 4 net carbs per serving.
