    One of my favorite meals on a warm spring or summer day is a big Greek salad, especially when eaten at a little sidewalk cafe.

    Doesn't that sound like the perfect combination?

    Recently, I was craving those yummy Greek flavors, but I wanted something heartier than a salad. I love veggie burgers, so I thought, why not turn my fave salad into a burger?

    These Greek Veggie Burgers with Cucumber Feta Sauce are the delicious result!

    You are going to love these tasty burgers! They are packed with bold flavors and are so simple to make.

    How to Make Greek Veggie Burgers with Cucumber Feta Sauce

    These easy to make veggie burger patties have a quinoa-chickpea base that's quick to prepare.

    They're seasoned with savory onions, fragrant oregano, piquant Kalamata olives (affiliate link), and fresh parsely. The addition of the olives adds a ton of flavor, and they're definitely one of my favorite parts of this recipe.

    Even my husband, a devoted Kalamata olive hater, thought these Greek Veggie Burgers with Cucumber Feta Sauce were delish!

    My absolute favorite thing about these burgers though is the amazing and creamy Cucumber Feta Sauce.

    It is so delicious and takes minutes to make. If you can stir, then you can master this sauce. It really is the perfect topping for the tasty burgers. Yum!

    These burgers fry up nice and firm, and after being topped with that delish sauce, they are simply irresistible.

    Serve these Greek Veggie Burgers with Cucumber Feta Sauce with fries (my Old Bay Roasted Potato Wedges would be perfect) or a simple salad, and you'll have a meal that anyone will love!

    I used Cous Cous as a substitute for quinoa and it worked perfect!

    These sound amazing, but what else could I substitute for quinoa? (I want to like it, but it gives me insane stomach cramps.)

    Hi, Rai! I haven't tried them with anything else, but you could experiment with another grain that you can eat. For example, you could substitute 1/4 uncooked (or 3/4 cup cooked) white (or brown rice). I've also used barley in some of my other veg burgers recipes (check out these southwest burgers, for example: https://hellolittlehome.com/southwest-black-bean-veggie-burger-recipe/). If you can't eat other grains, then I'd add extra beans. The burgers will probably be a little softer, but should still taste great. Let me know what you try ... I'd love to hear what you decide to use and how they turn out!

    Honestly, I enjoyed everything, but the bun! I think these would have made better falafel-type patties/balls, served with a pita or flatbread. I did add quite a bit more garlic, and a bit more oregano, too. Prior to the addition, it tasted mainly like chickpeas. If that's your desired flavor, no worries... its just not our preferred taste.

    OH MY GOODNESS. THIS RECIPE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We are SO full! It was the best veggie patty I have ever made. I would actually consider portioning out the patties into about 6 little patties to make sliders πŸ™‚ Love me a good slider!

    Made these tonight for dinner. Tasted ok but would not stay together while cooking. Rather disappointing. Don't know if this is normal or if I did something wrong.

    Hi, Sherry πŸ™‚ Sorry for not getting back to you sooner ... I missed your comment. They should definitely hold together while cooking. Did you change any of the ingredients? Let me know, and I can help troubleshoot the problem. They might have had too much (or possibly too little) liquid, depending on how well the chickpeas were drained, etc.
