Directions
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Rinse and dry all produce before slicing or chopping.
- Cook the burger patties in oil until they’re golden and cooked through, flipping once, about 8–10 minutes.
- Thinly slice one tomato and season with a pinch of salt; place on a plate. Dice the remaining tomato and set it into a medium bowl.
- Trim and seed the bell pepper, then dice it and add to the tomato in the bowl.
- Separate the romaine lettuce, reserving one leaf per burger for the plates; chop the rest into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl.
- Roughly chop the olives and stir them into the bowl along with the balsamic vinaigrette to make the salad; set aside.
- Toast the buns if you like.
- Spread hummus on the cut sides of each bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato, and burgers, then cap with the top bun.
- Divide the burgers and salad between plates and serve.
Two tips
- Prepare the salad components ahead and refrigerate; toss with vinaigrette just before serving.
- If desired, keep remaining salad and vinaigrette separate and mix just before plating for freshness.
