Spinach Tomato Burgers

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 4 servings
Every Friday night is burger night at our house. The tomatoes add fresh flavor and the cool spinach dip brings it all together. We often skip the buns and serve these over a bed of grilled cabbage. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
