Burger

1 (15 oz) Can No-Salt-Added Black Beans, Rinsed & Drained

1/3 Cup Red Onion

1 Cup Ground Old Fashioned Oats

1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano

1 Teaspoon Dried Basil

1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

1. Put beans in a large bowl, and mash well with a fork. Add egg, red onion, ground oats, oregano, basil, powder, salt, pepper and hot sauce. 

2. Mix well, and portion into six 1/3 cup servings. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange patties in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through.                        

3. While burgers are cooking, begin shredding cucumber into noodles, and thinly THINLY slice red onion. Mix together and squeeze limes over cucumber and red onion mixture, and toss. 

4. Once burgers are cooked, plate and top with salad mixture. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the burger if you want a little extra kick. 

5. Enjoy! 

The combination of the creamy black bean burger coupled with the crisp, fresh flavor of the cucumber, red onion and lime is honestly one of my favorite clean eating recipes so far.
