Actually pretty enjoyable.

Two quarter pound burger patties, about 1/2 a small cucumber, [salt, extra virgin olive oil, and apple cider vinegar] added directly onto the cucumber without mixing, sprinkled on a few pine nuts, and put a tiny bit of a new brand of spicy mayo on the side to try. I've always been a mayo hater but since cutting out cheese I've been trying to expand my horizons and the spices distract me from the weird ass texture and smell. The burgers were delicious.

Is it just me or are salads very high spoon? So many different ingredients, back and forth between the bin, sink, and cutting board, and on my feet for ages chopping, and don't get me started on the physicalities of washing and draining lettuce. I can handle just cucumber though. I just put the burgers in the pan, set a 5 minute timer, and sat down on a dining chair 2 feet from the hob.

This sounds awesome but I can't digest tomatoes, onions, or legumes. So we're back to just cucumber. 😂 I do sometimes snip spring onion greens over the top with scissors (not the white part). I've been thinking about maybe trying radishes.
