These burger were the essence of summer time! I add a nice slice of thick grilled pineapple for extra sweetness and sliced avocado because I love avocado. Enjoy these poolside with a watermelon kombucha (maybe mixed with some vodka) in your hand, and we are set!
Try these out for yourself and bring them to your next BBQ!
