Hamburger Buns:

Keep things simple with your standard hamburger rolls, or throw a few different options in the mix, whether it be different types of rolls or pita, there are plenty of options to get creative with just the vehicle for your individual burger and toppings. 

Toppings to consider:

Pineapple rings-try them grilled!

Sliced Avocado/guacamole

Salsa-you could do a few varieties- I used pico de gallo here, but a black bean and corn might taste good, or even a fruit salsa too!

Jalepeno/pickle slices

Grilled/sautéed onion

Raw onion 

Sautéed/Grilled Mushrooms

Roasted red peppers

Tomato 

Lettuce

Coleslaw

Blue cheese

Sauces to complete the spread:

BBQ sauce

Mayo 

Yellow mustard

Dijon mustard

Ketchup

Siracha

Hot sauce

Black garlic puree

Olive tampanede 

Some additional tips:

Put out some signs with some flavor combo ideas to spark some inspiration:

BBQ sauce + sautéed onions + mushrooms

Red pepper + blue cheese, onion and olive tapenade 

Avocado + pico de gallo + pineapple

These toppings work well with all kinds of burgers. Whether a portobello mushroom cap, veggie burger, turkey burger, seafood burger, bison or beef burger- all different types of burgers can be included here!
