  • 1 ounce pickled red onions
  • 4 tablespoons garlic lemon mayo
  • 4 tablespoons Salsa Verde

  • Preheat grill or griddle to medium high. Evenly press burger to a 1/2” thickness and generously season both sides of the patty with kosher salt and pepper, set aside for 10 min.
  • Cut the buns in half and brush each cut side with melted butter.
  • Place a dollop of vegetable oil onto griddle and evenly spread with paper towel so the surface of the pan is covered, or clean grills and spray with a non-stick spray.
  • Carefully place the seasoned patty onto the pre-heated grill or griddle and cook for 3 1/2 minutes, until a golden brown crust has formed.
  • Using a spatula, carefully flip the burger patty, and repeat.
  • One minute before removing the burger patty, place the bun cut side down onto the grill or toast under a broiler until lightly golden brown and soft.
  • Remove the buns from the oven and place open, onto a cutting board to assemble.
  • Spread a tablespoon of salsa verde onto the bottom of the hamburger bun, and place a burger patty on top of the salsa verde.
  • Onto the burger, place a dollop of the mayo, followed by the pickled onions.
  • Place the top of the bun onto the burger and serve with a side of potato chips.
