    Making the Burger Patties

    For this recipe I am using local wagyu ground beef, but I've also used regular ground chuck when making burgers. The best burgers are made with ground beef that has a higher fat content. Lean meats tend to dry out on the grill. Check out this article on How to Make the Best Burgers for more information on selecting the right ground beef for your burger patty.

    I always season my ground beef with a few pantry staples like onion powder, granulated garlic, parsley flakes, paprika, coarse salt and black pepper. The coarse salt is a must have and adds so much flavor to the burger patties compared to regular table salt.

    Forming the Burger Patties

    Confession, I am a perfectionist when cooking and I prefer all my burger patties to be even in weight and shape. I weigh my meat and separate it into ¼ pound portions, then shape and press them into a hand pie cutter. To make perfect burger patties. I prep all of my patties then take them to the grill. Do you have a kitchen scale? I highly recommend it. They come in handy for so many things, especially baking when it's more accurate to weigh dry ingredients than use cup measures. Click here for a scale similar to the one I've had for 10 years!

    Prepping the Vegetables for Grilling

    Mandolin Zucchini

    For this burger salad with grilled veggies I used a mandoline to slice my veggies into even slices. Mandoline slicers can be dangerous and I recommend always using the hand guard. They are great for quickly slicing up veggies and make it easy for meal prep. For the zucchini I used the thick slice option and for the carrots I used the thin slice blade.

    To prepare the vegetables for grilling, I drizzle them with some olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt. That's all these vegetables need to bring out their natural flavor. It takes about 6-8 minutes total to grill these vegetables! Quick and easy and so delicious.

    Bringing the Dish Together

    Serve your burger patty on a bed of mixed salad greens, drizzle with any dressing you like or if you are like me and enjoy the juiciness of the burger patty, skip the dressing all together. Then fill the rest of your plate with the grilled vegetables. This meal is clean, low carbs and loaded with nutrients. It's the perfect meal for a hot spring/summer day. It's also easy to double the portion and prep lunch and dinner for a few days.
