We’re getting ready for summer with this recipe: an easy keto, Paleo, Whole30 Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing with blended ground beef, Radish & Lemon BurgerFit burger with Koops’ Mustard and SunGarden sprouts!

Making my own salad dressing has quickly become my preference over store-bought dressings. This Whole30 Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing is easily made with just a few ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. I love using fresh lemons and often buy a bag of organic lemons every time I am at the grocery but you can use lemon juice too! You can also substitute any of the herbs and use what you have. Crushed rosemary and thyme would be fantastic in this dressing too.

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:

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

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!!

This is the perfect lunch or dinner for me. It is an easy throw-together kind of meal based on what vegetables I have and I love using sprouts whenever I can! – Alane

Radish & Lemon BurgerFit Burger

I never even knew you could roast radishes until a few years ago! My sister and I were participating in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program where you receive a box of vegetables from a local farmer based on what is growing that time of year. We were getting a lot of radishes in our boxes and could only eat so many raw ones in our salads. Then she found a recipe for roasted radishes and it was delicious! This changed our entire perspective on getting radishes in our CSA boxes. I love this BurgerFit burger because it combines two flavors you would never think to put together, but the result is amazing!

Equipment

Knife
Sheet pan
Lemon juicer
Measuring spoons
Food processor
Large bowl
Skillet

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut the greens off the radishes and set aside. Remove any roots from the radish and discard. If the radishes are large, cut them in half. Coat the radishes with 1 tablespoon cooking fat, place on a baking tray, and cook for 15 minutes, turning halfway through. 
  • While the radishes are baking, juice half a lemon, set aside, and rough chop the radish greens. 
  • Once the radishes are baked, add the greens to the hot pan with the radishes. The heat from the radishes will cook the greens and save you from having to cook them separately! 
  • Drizzle everything with the lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper.  
  • Add the radishes and greens to the food processor (or finely chop). Taste vegetable mixture and add more salt if desired. Let the mixture cool completely. 
  • In a large bowl, add the ground meat, remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, and Dijon Koops' Mustard. Gradually incorporate vegetable mixture into the ground meat. Add as much as you can while still being able to form your burgers as normal. If you end up adding too much vegetable mixture, don’t worry! Just form your burger and cook in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Cook burgers on medium heat on the stove for 5 minutes each side or to your preference. Cooking times can vary.
  • Optional: Serve with your favorite cheese and top with Dijon Koops' Mustard. Add Spicy Sprout Mix from SunGarden on top for extra flavor and extra nutrients.
