Pesto + Kale
It’s quickly become one of my favorite combinations! The pesto has such a fresh and sharp flavor, and it helps to really tame the kale. I like to make my pesto first, and then add some of it to the kale you’ll be using for your burger salad. Mix the pesto into the kale with a spoon, and then let it sit in the fridge while you make the rest of your burger salad. The kale will get so much more tender, especially if you use one like dinosaur kale that is a little more rigid.
Meal Prep
You’ve likely heard us talk before about how we like to make a big dinner on Sunday nights that we can then use the leftovers of for easy meals during the week. This burger salad with pesto is one of my favorite meal prep recipes. You can make a bunch of burger patties, and store them in the fridge. The pesto has lemon in it, so it stays fresh in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container. You can use the leftovers for easy lunches during the week.
All The Toppings
We’ve given you some ideas for toppings and veggies to use, but really you can use whatever you love most or whatever you have on hand. Consider just going for a stroll at your local farmer’s market and picking up whatever looks good. It’s so great to get to know your local farmers and use the freshest, most local produce. It really is the healthiest way to eat and nourish your body!
