Caprece Burger
This recipe is one of my all time favorites. A spin-off of the Caprece salad, I threw this together one evening and almost impressed myself!
​
Rich flavors of grilled onions, roasted garlic and fresh basil, it's like a meat salad with greater texture.
​
If you're not a lover of basil, I like to recommend butter lettuce as another option.
​
The melted mozzarella is just mild enough to allow the other flavors to shine through with its creamy goodness.
​
I promise, this one won't disappoint!
