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!
