Salsa Verde Burgers
I shared this delicious homemade salsa verde recipe for Better Homes and Gardens on Delish Dish and decided to make these burgers using the salsa for dinner last night. You can also use store bought salsa verde, but trust me, nothing beats homemade!
I made the burgers with both lean beef burgers and chicken burgers since I had both on hand, and I loved them equally. My husband’s not eating carbs this week so he ate two beef burgers without the bun. Whether you make them with lean beef, turkey, chicken, buffalo, black bean patties, veggie burgers… modify them however you wish!
I calculated these with 93% lean beef patties, with the bun and without and with the bun and no cheese. Any other variations you’ll have to do on your own – enjoy!

Mine was 7 with no bun…I can't find a bun that is less than 4 points so I did mine with no bun & a side of black beans. Delicious!
I got 9 smartpoints
Does anyone know what the Smartpoints would be? I tried calculating but there is no saturated fat listed. This looks great…such amazing recipes on this site. Thank you thank you!!!
