Green Burgers
What's great about it
My green burgers take about 5 minutes to mix up and they are perfect hot out of the oven or cold as part of your lunch time salad. Hubby loves to eat them with a side of cinnamon roasted sweet potato, smashed avocado and a generous drizzle of lime - I throw them into my garden salad made with lots of leafy greens, avocado and a drizzle of parsley + mint salsa verde.
