Tip

Keeping Lettuce Fresh

To store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

Medium-Bodied Red Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a medium-bodied red wine such as Chianti, Sangiovese, Malbec or Zinfandel.

We really enjoyed these burgers. The zucchini is an excellent way to add some extra vitamins and the beans provide some added protein and fiber. They were very moist and had great flavor. 'will definitely make these again!

My husband could not stop raving about these burgers. This is such a healthy version for the all american hamburger.

I was worried the burgers were going to be too soft and break apart easily but it was very easy to form the patties and cook it. Will definitely make again!
