About

How many ways can I love this tuna burger? So far, at least five or six (see the variations). Oh, but did I mention how tasty the master recipe for this crispy burger is, with colorful flecks of celery and red bell pepper, the aroma and tang of lemon and cilantro, a spicy mayo, the velvety avocado layer, all topped with fresh, fresh homemade cucumber pickle? Aside from tasting delicious, what I really love about this meal is the protein punch that it packs
