Gourmet Burger and Fiesta Bean Salad



Connor wanted burgers, no doubt about it. I wanted something a little more sophisticated - something that would be satisfy my craving for a little panache, a little bit ooh, a little bit ahhh. Thus, my gourmet burger with cheddar cheese, bacon, tomato, avocado and Light House Salsa Dressing - naturlich, ja? 

Now, wheat buns kind of wash out the color, so I needed a fiesta of colors on my plate and concocted a fiesta bean salad as follows:

Fiesta Bean Salad
---------------------
> 1/2 cup shelled edamame
> 1/2 cup corn
> 1/2 cup black beans
> 1 TB shallots
> 1/2 diced jalapeno
> 1 roma tomato, seeded & diced
> splash of red wine vinegar
> pinch or two of salt
> 1 tsp of cumin

Oh, Connor also talked me into home-made french fries and he gobbled them up first! 



Peace!

Love,
Clark and Connor
