      1. Grate the cucumber on the small hole of a box grater. Squeeze the grated cucumber between your hands (or in a dish towel) to release as much moisture as possible.

      2. Add the cucumber to a small bowl then stir in the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, dill, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Set the sauce aside.

      1. Divide the ground beef into four equal portions.

      2. In a small bowl, combine the lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and feta cheese.

      3. Once the ground beef is cooked to your desired doneness, top it with the salad mixture then drizzle it with the tzatziki and serve immediately.
