Whole30 Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing

A raw radish may not be at the top of the list of your favorite vegetables, it is on the top of mine either. But, when radishes are roasted, it takes on a whole new flavor. All of the bitterness you usually taste disappears and you are left with a mild-flavored vegetable. If you have ever gotten a CSA through the spring and summer, you may be overwhelmed with the number of radishes included in every box. That is actually what happened to me several years ago and I could never get through the radishes before it was time to get my next box. My sister was running into the same problem and then found that you could roast them! It was a game-changer. There are a couple of reasons radishes are so plentiful: they have a short maturity period and they take up little room in the garden bed! Radishes are often used in between growing vegetables that take longer to get to maturity. As a reference point, radishes take 25 days to mature while squash takes 80 days, and tomatoes take over 60 days!

This burger doesn’t have to be made with ground beef, it can easily be substituted with your favorite type of ground meat like ground chicken, pork, and turkey.

Trying to get kids to eat vegetables can be really difficult and that is why I love that this burger is blended with radishes and their greens. Kids (and picky adults) won’t even know they are eating vegetables and they will be loving it! Using sprouts can also be a win for getting a kid to eat vegetables. A radish sprout is a lot less intimidating to try than a whole radish, which can be bitter and spicy. Sprouts are cute and fun and they make kids curious. Plus, sprouts have such a concentrated amount of nutrients that you don’t have to worry about your kids not getting their vitamins and minerals – a small portion of sprouts will have them covered!

When roasting the radishes, I used coconut oil but you could use any cooking fat that you prefer to cook with: olive oil, avocado oil, lard, tallow, etc.

I used the Dijon Koops’ Mustard to make the dressing and the Jalapeno Mustard on top with the Spicy Sprout Mix from SunGarden. If you aren’t a spice fan, you can experiment with any of the Koops’ Mustards and SunGarden sprouts!

Some of the Koops’ Mustards that I think would be great on this burger are:

• Dusseldorph Koops’ Mustard
• Original Yellow Koops’ Mustard
• Stone Ground Koops’ Mustard
• Honey Dijon Koops’ Mustard

Some of the SunGarden sprouts that I think would be great on this burger are:

• Alfalfa SunGarden Sprouts
• Broccoli and Clover Blend SunGarden Sprouts
• Clover SunGarden Sprouts
• Mung Bean SunGarden Sprouts

My favorite way to eat this burger is over a bed of greens with the sprouts and mustard on top. I’ll also throw any of the unused radishes and radish greens, even if it is already blended, on the greens too. It is so delicious!!

BurgerFit and Koops’ Mustard met before going to the World Food Championships. Since mustard pairs perfectly with burgers, BurgerFit offered samples of Koops’ Mustard in their Tasting Pavilion booth. From there, they continued their relationship by partnering for BurgerFit Friday.

BurgerFit and SunGarden met through mutual connections in the same town where BurgerFit is headquartered. Both companies immediately connected through helping people eating healthier. Sprouts are a perfect, simple addition to any mal and we love how well they go with BurgerFit.
