Paleo Mustard Greens Burger
What makes this burger special?
Why eat the Paleo Mustard Greens Burger?
Mustard greens are peppery-tasting greens that come from the mustard plant. According to Healthline, mustard greens are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat, as they are low in calories yet high in fiber and many essential vitamins and minerals. Mustard greens are rich in important plant compounds and micronutrients, specifically vitamins A, C, and K. As a result, eating them may have benefits for eye and heart health, as well as anticancer and immune-boosting properties.
This burger also follows many dietary lifestyles including Keto, Gluten-free, Paleo, Dairy-free, Whole30, and AIP.

Got mustard greens from the farmers market and I made this recipe and it’s a keeper! I added 1/2 cup of spinach and the blend of flavor from the meat and greens was absolutely perfect. Great addition to my list of healthy yet affordable recipes.
Farmers Market is the best place to find tons of fresh produce at a very low price. I’m happy to know that you enjoyed this recipe Julian!
