Caprese Burger is an Easy Meal that is filling and tasty. If you are not a big fan of beef you could use chicken. The flavors would differ, nonetheless chicken patties would be mouthwatering too. I also like to keep a mint and curd dip by me side. You could opt for a pepper and curd dip too. It would be interesting to hear of what you think of this easy meal recipe.
