Ingredients

  • 2  Ripe Avocados, Peeled And Pitted, Divided
  • ½ cups Baby Arugula
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Basil Leaves
  • ⅓ cups Fresh Chives
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Peeled
  • ¼ cups Mayonnaise
  • ¼ cups Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1  Large Egg
  • 1 Tablespoon Plain Bread Crumbs
  • ½ teaspoons Onion Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 6 slices Multi-grain Or Seeded Bread, Lightly Toasted
  • 4  Romaine Lettuce Leaves
  • 1 cup Micro Greens Or Sprouts (I Used An Italian Blend)
  • 1  Cucumber, Sliced
  • 4 ounces, weight Fresh Sliced Mozzarella Cheese
  • Salt And Black Pepper

Preparation

Into a high powered blender of food processor, add one half of one of the avocados, arugula, basil, chives, garlic, a dash of salt and black pepper to taste, mayo and Greek yogurt. Puree until smooth, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until you are ready to use.

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce and a dash of salt and black pepper. Mix with clean hands or a heavy wooden spoon until the ingredients just come together. Form the meat into 3 equal-sized patties and set aside.

Heat your grill or griddle pan over medium heat and spray the patties on both sides with a non-stick spray. Cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes (for medium to medium-rare) on each side or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and set aside to rest for a minute.

Assemble your burgers, by spreading a layer of the green goddess sauce on the toasted bread. Layer remaining avocado, lettuce, micro greens, cucumbers and mozzarella on top of each burger patty. Serve immediately and enjoy!
