Caprese Burger (Biggest Loser recipe)



1 tablespoon all-natural light sandwich spread (Spectrum Naturals Light Canola Mayo)
1 cube (3.5 grams) frozen basil, thawed (Dorot All-Natural Chopped Basil)
4 ounces 96% lean ground beef patty
Salt, to taste
1/2 ounce very thinly sliced almond mozzarella cheese (Lisanatti)
1 all-natural whole grain or whole wheat English muffin (Rudi's Organic Bakery Whole Grain Wheat English Muffin), split
Small handful of arugula leaves
1/4"-thick large tomato slice
Preheat a grill to high.
In a small bowl, stir the sandwich spread and basil until combined.
Season both sides of the patty with salt. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium rare, or until desired doneness is reached. About 1 minute before the burger is done, add the cheese and melt for 1 minute.
Meanwhile, place the muffin halves on the grill away from the direct flame to warm them.
Place the muffin bottom, cut side up, on a serving plate. Top it with the arugula, the burger, and then the tomato. Spread the pesto mayo evenly over the inside of the top of the English muffin and place it atop the burger. Serve immediately.
