- Whipped Feta
- To a food processor add 8oz of feta cheese, 5.3 oz of greek yogurt, the zest of 1 lemon, 1tsp of lemon juice, and 1 medium garlic clove. Mix until combined then add 4 tsp of the extra virgin olive oil. Mix again scraping the bowl as needed until the feta/yogurt mixture is smooth about 5-6 minutes. Set aside.

- Cut the red onion into thick slices, then place them into a bowl. Drizzle the slices with 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper if desired. Gently mix until combined.
- Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Place half of the bag of french fries onto the baking sheet and cook to package directions.
- Grill the burgers over direct medium heat flipping as needed until cooked to your preference (160°F is well done).
- While the burgers are cooking place the red onions on the grill and cook flipping regularly until they are soft and charred, about 4-5 minutes.
- Assemble the bowls
- Place a handful of lettuce into a bowl then top with the lamb burgers, tomatoes, cucumbers, grilled red onions, and a large spoonful of the whipped feta.
