Instructions

1 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded and peeled 1/2 cup ranch dressing 1/2 tsp. minced garlic 1/4 cup minced fresh herbs (such as basil, dill, chives, tarragon*) 1 tsp. lime juice, or more to taste 1 1/2 lb. 80/20 lean ground beef 1 1/2 tsp. steak seasoning 4 brioche burger buns or your prefered bun choice 4 green leaf lettuce leaves 1 large, ripe tomato, cut into 8 slices

In a medium bowl, mash the avocado. Using a whisk, whip in the ranch dressing, garlic, herbs and lime juice until all the ingredients are combined and the sauce is smooth; set aside.
Heat grill to medium high heat.
Form four burger patties. Season one side of each patty and place seasoned-side down on the grill, season the other side, and cook to desired temperature, flipping as needed.
While burgers are cooking toast the buns, spread the California Avocado Goddess Sauce on both top and bottom buns. Slice the remaining avocado into 12 slices and set aside.
On the bottom bun place the leaf lettuce then the tomatoes. Top the tomatoes with each burger and the top buns. Serve.

Variations: Substitute veggie patties, ad slice smoked cheese or crispy bacon.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with chips, fries or salad

Beverage Pairing: Sparkling water, mocktail, white wine.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

Editor's Note

*Tarragon is often found in green goddess dressing recipes but it has a strong flavor and can be overpowering. Just a pinch of chopped fresh or dried tarragon in combination with other herbs is recommended for balanced flavor.
