These burgers were a great way to use up some leftover spinach and feta cheese. They were also a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers.

I found the burgers to be a bit too salty. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the recipe next time.

The burgers were a bit dry, but the tzatziki sauce helped to make up for it.
