School's Out. Holidays Are In!
Updated: Aug 25, 2018
Yippeeee! There's no better way to kick start the school holidays with a hearty and healthy burger, be it at home or outdoor (if you're planning for a picnic)!
This is definitely not your typical burger. It's also not a boring burger. Why I love this recipe so much is it's full of natural nutrients, visually colourful and yet packed with flavours. Most importantly. it's super EASY to make.......only 6 steps :) I'm sure you don't want to fuss too much with hungry kids waiting to be fed.

Form into patty and make a thumbprint in the middle of the patty.
