Lamb-Feta Burgers:
Set half of the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting; cover; preheat for 10 minutes. Clean/oil grilling grate.
In a large bowl, combine lamb, beef, feta, olives, garlic, cumin, parsley, salt and pepper. Do not overwork the mixture. Divide mixture into 6 patties with a slight dimple in the center of each patty.
Place burgers on the hot side of grill; cook, flipping as needed, until burgers register 125°F on an instant read thermometer for medium-rare, or 135°F for medium. Transfer to the cooler side if flare-ups occur.
While burgers are cooking, toast buns over grill.
Transfer to a platter; let rest for 2 - 3 minutes. Place burgers on buns, top with Greek-O De Gallo and feta sauce.
