In lieu of fresh mint, this is lovely with grated cucumber and a garlic clove, à la tzatziki. I leave out the lemon zest for fear of the flavor being too strong.

I used half dill and half mint and a but more olive oil to use it to dress a salad. It’s a keeper,

Good for about 8 burgers.

I think blending feta makes it chalky. I just couldn't make the texture appealing.
