Caesar Burgers

These tangy burgers have big Caesar flavors built right into the patty. Enjoy the salad on the side or inside the burger for a fork-free summer meal. Try serving with vegetable chips for a no-effort side.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ¼ tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 4 oil-packed anchovy fillets, minced, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • ¼ cup avocado oil mayonnaise ½ lemon, zested and juiced
  • 8 large romaine lettuce leaves, torn
  • 4 whole-grain hamburger buns

Preparation

  1. In a medium bowl, combine beef, salt and pepper with half of each: Parmesan, anchovies and garlic. Gently mix to incorporate. Shape into 4 ½-inch-thick patties.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet on medium-high, heat oil. Add burgers and cook, flipping once, 3 to 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. (NOTE: You can also grill the burgers.)
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice and zest with remaining garlic and anchovy.
  4. To a large bowl, add lettuce; toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide evenly among plates and sprinkle with remaining half of Parmesan. Place a bun on each plate; top each with a burger patty and any leftover dressing, if desired.
