    These were AWESOME!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    For the burgers I put in kalamata olives in instead of black and a clove of garlic, and salt & pepper. For the salad, I just... used 1/2 a green jalapeno (instead of the fresno chile since they weren't available). Also, I bought some Tzatziki sauce to put on the bun. I used a grill pan since I don't have access to a real grill, but they were great!Read more
