Lamb, lemon, cilantro, arugula—in our house, these ingredients scream summer, so it seemed natural to combine them, along with a few other ingredients, to make a burger with a bright, citrusy yogurt sauce. The arugula does double duty as a topping and a side salad, keeping this meal quick, easy, and light. My partner and I found this burger doesn’t need cheese, but if you feel compelled to add it, it pairs particularly well with nutty, earthy cheeses like sheep’s-milk Gouda, aged cow’s milk Gouda, and Manchego, though you will only need half as much yogurt sauce. —Jarrett Melendez
