Scale:

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or romaine)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, diced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, form into 4 equal patties, and chill for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 5-7 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Let rest.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
In a large serving bowl or individual bowls, layer the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives.
Slice the grilled burgers and place them on top of the salad. Drizzle with the prepared dressing.
