Lettuce Burgers
I wanted to share with you a recipe that I love to make on weeknights! My lettuce burgers are light and super satisfying! The sauce is delicious and you probably already have all the ingredients at home.
For the toppings, it’s all about personal preferences, but I personally LOVE caramelized onions in my burgers and there has to be a LOT of dill pickles!
Enjoy!
