Cookware

chef's knife · colander · cutting board · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · spatula · toaster (optional) · tongs

Directions

  1. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Rinse and dry all produce before slicing or chopping.
  3. Cook the burger patties in oil until they’re golden and cooked through, flipping once, about 8–10 minutes.
  4. Thinly slice one tomato and season with a pinch of salt; place on a plate. Dice the remaining tomato and set it into a medium bowl.
  5. Trim and seed the bell pepper, then dice it and add to the tomato in the bowl.
  6. Separate the romaine lettuce, reserving one leaf per burger for the plates; chop the rest into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
  7. Roughly chop the olives and stir them into the bowl along with the balsamic vinaigrette to make the salad; set aside.
  8. Toast the buns if you like.
  9. Spread hummus on the cut sides of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato, and burgers, then cap with the top bun.
  10. Divide the burgers and salad between plates and serve.

Two tips

  • Prepare the salad components ahead and refrigerate; toss with vinaigrette just before serving.
  • If desired, keep remaining salad and vinaigrette separate and mix just before plating for freshness.
