- 1lb ground lamb
- 1/2tsp salt

- Toss the cucumber in a mixing bowl with the yogurt, garlic, and herbs. Zest the lemon half, and juice the lemon into the bowl.
- Stir it up, then taste to see if you want to add salt and pepper. The sauce can be made a day ahead of time.
Lamb Burgers

- Serve on a toasted bun with the tzatziki sauce and your favorite toppings!
