I’m not gonna say that this burger taste like a regular burger coz it’s not! Having said that, this vegetarian burger recipe is really, really good! Thanks to the help of creamy avocado, fresh tomatoes and the sweet, tangy thousand island dressing. This burger is enjoyable to eat without the guilt of gaining weight.
