Smokey mini burgers (sliders) with spicy nectarine salsa
Sliders are an American way of saying mini burgers. You can double these and make them regular sized burgers, they are just so much cuter this way! If you want to serve these with bread, I love using mini whole wheat pitas, but you can use whatever you wish. In the last minute or two of the burgers grilling, throw the bread on the grill too!

Leftover tips for tomorrow’s lunch:

Deconstructed burger salad:
  • Make some extra salad with dressing on the side.
  • Gather all leftover burgers that no one will want to eat the next day and cut or break them into small pieces and add them to the salad for protein.
  • Eat room temperature- pack with dressing on the side!
