For the "Salsa"
  • 1/2 lb sweet grape or heirloom tomatoes diced

  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat outdoor grill or BBQ to medium high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the burger ingredients and mix well.
  3. Form into uniform sized patties (Should make about 9 smaller sized patties) and set aside on a plate or platter.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the "salsa" ingredients and stir to combine. Set aside.
  5. Grill burgers on BBQ for about 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to a clean platter and serve.
  6. Serve with your favourite buns, lettuce wraps, or alone. We like ours in butter lettuce with stinky cheese and avocado!
