Quinoa Burger

Notes: 

So yummy! If you want a change of pace that’s meat-free, yet full of protein, fiber, and very filling…this might be for you.

I like it with Tzatziki on top (my recipe is in this post), or a little “fry sauce” (what some drive-ins call that wonderful mayo/ketchup combo), and with a thick slice of tomato, avocado, onion and lettuce, as a burger should be, it’s fab.

Don’t be afraid of Quinoa. It cooks just like rice – might even be a little easier! – and can be subbed almost straight across in most recipes. I made Rice Burgers for my kids for years and this is the same recipe, with Quinoa instead.

UPDATE!! I recently found myself without carrots so used shredded zucchini instead. WONDERFUL! And my husband says I have to make them like this from now on. The measurements are in the recipe, also, if you’re interested.)
