1 ½ (142 g) pkgs baby spinach

1 small bunch cilantro

1 ½ English cucumbers

6 cloves garlic

3 (2 ½ cm) pieces ginger root

3 Granny Smith apples

0.68 kg ground chicken

1 ½ limes

1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt

6 whole grain buns or rolls

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Peel and mince ginger and garlic. Place both in a large bowl.

Shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves. Add to the bowl with the ginger and garlic.

Add chicken, bread crumbs, and spices to the bowl; mix with your hands until well combined. Form the chicken mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, place on a plate, and set aside.

Preheat a grill pan, outdoor grill, or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the grill pan is hot, coat with oil. Working in batches if necessary, add burger patties and cook, undisturbed, for 5 minutes; flip patties and cook an additional 5-7 minutes, until cooked through. Once done, transfer to a clean plate.

Meanwhile, trim and coarsely grate cucumbers. Use paper towels or a clean cloth to squeeze excess moisture out of the grated cucumber.

Place cucumber in a medium bowl, then add yogurt and salt. Whisk to combine the raita and set aside.

Juice limes into in a clean large bowl. Add oil, honey, and salt; whisk to combine the dressing.

Quarter, core, and thinly slice apples. Add to the bowl with the dressing, along with the spinach, and toss to combine the salad.

Toast buns if desired.

To assemble the burgers, spread the bottom half of each bun with half of the raita. Layer with burger patties and remaining raita, then close with the top half of the buns.

Divide burgers and salad between plates. Enjoy!
