VERY delicious & filling meal!

Add the ground meat, cheese, red bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped spinach, Greek olives and the spices to a large bowl. Mix just until all of the ingredients are combined. Form the meat mixture into 3 large (8 ounce) or 6 small (4 ounce) patties. Grill, air fry, broil or pan fry until the burgers are completely cooked. (about 5 to 6 minutes per side)

Arrange 1 cup of spinach leaves on a serving plate. Scatter 1/2 cup of cucumber and 3 tablespoons of radishes on top of the spinach. Top with one large burger or two small burgers. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of dressing over the meat and salad. Makes 3 servings.
