Does this picture also take you to your favourite beach holiday? Both the burger and the burger styling here definitely took Monika to her Greek holiday! The burger has the taste-enhancing feta cheese, famous to the land of Gods Greece – no wonder why she felt nostalgic suddenly!
Styled up in the gorgeous Magnolia-theme rectangular tray and saucer dishes from @tablematterssg, this beetroot-feta-walnut burger will probably make you say “the best home made burger ever”, just like it did to us. We bet! Not convinced yet? Let us also tell you that the kick in the burger is also from the tzatziki dip that sits on top of the patty! Yes yes, we know you are tempted to make it now 🙂
Here is the detailed recipe of this healthy no-potato burger. Highly recommend to use burger patty on only one side of the bread bun, in the spirit of keeping the healthy patty based burger, even healthier. Also this helps to not let bread overpower the flavours of patty and tzatziki. But if you like your patty sandwiched between the burger bun, you can do it. Just like how we have shown both the versions!
