Fortunately, the burgers are also very easy to make gluten -free. All you have to do is use gluten -free (hamburger) sandwiches. Fortunately these are actually in every supermarket nowadays.
At the chicken burger I made a simple yoghurt sauce. Of course it looks a bit like the Greek Tzatziki, but this version is a bit easier. You are ready in a minute! Incidentally, it is a very nice sauce to put on the table at a barbecue in the summer. Fresh and healthy!
