Altough, I know there is so many veggie burgers on the market now days, which is great! Nevertheless, this yummy and super healthy Lentil – Quinoa Burger is for those of you who prefers to make them at home from scratch.

Oh, and if you are wondering about the double burger on the photos, don’t worry, I didn’t eat it that way. But of course, feel free if you think you can do it, lol. I though it would be cool to do the photoshoot like that. What do you think? Not to forget, my favorite part is the grilled onion! Yum! And if you would like to know what is the sauce, I will led you on the secret.

I had leftover tomato sauce and cashew sauce from my HEALTHY SPELT PIZZA. I just added little bit of mustard into the cashew sauce, mixed well and drizzled on the burger. It was a mouthwatering bite and I hope you try! Thank you for visiting and I would love to hear your feedback.
