These easy to make veggie burger patties are made from a quinoa-chickpea base that’s seasoned with savory onions, fragrant oregano, piquant Kalamata olives , and fresh parsely. The addition of the olives adds a ton of flavor. Even my husband, a Kalamata olive hater, thought these Greek Veggie Burgers were delish!

My favorite thing about these burgers though, is the amazing Cucumber Feta Sauce. It is so delicious, takes minutes to make (if you can stir, you can master this sauce), and it’s the perfect topping for the burgers. Yum!
