The Best Juicy Burger Recipe (with Spicy Dill Salsa!)
A simple recipe for classic grilled beef burgers, elevated with a unique and flavorful spicy dill salsa. The salsa is a fresh, relish-style condiment made with dill pickle relish, finely chopped fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and spicy serrano peppers. The ground beef patties are simply seasoned with salt and pepper, then grilled or broiled to perfection. The burgers are served on hamburger buns and topped with the homemade salsa.
