These burgers are great for summer days when you want to feel like you're eating an expensive gourmet burger but don't want to pay the gourmet price! Simple feta cheese stuffed burgers with a home made salsa on top will do the trick!

- 4 Italian plum tomatoes, seeded, chopped (or one large tomato)
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove of garlic roughly chopped

Directions
- In medium bowl, combine tomatoes, lemon juice, basil, salt and pepper; mix well. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes to blend flavors.
- Meanwhile, shape ground beef into 8 patties, 4 inches in diameter. Top one side of patty with feta cheese. Top each with remaining patty. Seal patties by pressing edges together.
