Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined, but avoid overmixing.

Step 2

Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized burger patties and set them aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

Step 4

To prepare the herb caper sauce, finely chop the capers, parsley, and dill.

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped capers, parsley, and dill. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 6

For the salad, rinse and dry the salad greens. Thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey to create a simple salad dressing.

Step 8

Combine the salad greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat.

Step 9
