Don't get me wrong! I love a good burger, especially a good plant-based burger! I used Impossible Foods plant-based patty for a healthier vegan burger with Israeli salad. This mouthwatering Vegan Burger with Israeli Salad is bright, balanced and beautiful!

I loosely adapted Chef Justin Cucci from Linger in Denver, Colorado, USA. His sliders with Israeli Salad and Hummus called for a lot of ingredients that I didn't have readily at home.

I improvised and swapped out the hummus for labneh; Montreal steak seasoning for Za’atar; slider Hawaiian rolls for regular buster buns. I also used a lot of cilantro instead of dill and mint. I also used Smak Dab's honey horseradish mustard for my substitute for stone-ground dijon mustard. I love how all the Middle Eastern flavours come together!

But you know what? It tasted freaking amazing!

VEGAN BURGER WITH ISREALI SALAD mis en place

How to Make Israeli Salad

In a small mixing bowl, add Sherry vinegar (red wine vinegar works also), minced shallots, sugar, mustard, salt, and ground black pepper to make the vinaigrette. Mix well until emulsified and homogenous.

In a medium mixing bowl, Add thinly sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, fresh cilantro, mint and dill, vinaigrette and toss together. Set aside.

How to Make Hummus

In a Vitamix or food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and seasoning. Blend until smooth. Set Aside.

If you do not require the burger to be 100% vegan, labneh also makes a good substitute for hummus.

How to Make Vegan Burger with Israeli Salad

Divide a package of Impossible Burger patty approximately 6 oz or 170g and shape into patties. Season both sides with Za'atar seasoning or Montreal steak seasoning.

In a non-stick pan, over medium high heat, add olive oil and sear the patties on each side until a crust forms. Approximately 1 and half minutes.

Top each patty with cheese or vegan cheese and cover the pan until the cheese melts. Approximately 30 seconds.

While the patties are cooking, toast a brioche bun.

Spread about 1 tablespoon of hummus or labneh on the bottom of each bun. Divide avocado slices and add to the bun.

Once the patties are done cooking, transfer them to the bottom buns. Top each burger with 2 tablespoon of Isreali salad. Place the brioche bun tops on top.

If you have extra salad, serve as a side!

Serve and enjoy.
