Ingredients

- Avocado Mayo
- ½ ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 scallion, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- salt
- Sliders
- 1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 small red onion, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
- 3 bacon, cooked and halved crosswise
- toasted slider buns, preferably whole-wheat
- 1 small ripe mango, peeled and sliced
- ⅓ cup baby kale
- ⅓ cup alfalfa sprouts

Directions

1 Preheat grill to medium-high.
2 To prepare mayo: Combine avocado, mayonnaise, scallion, lime zest and a pinch of salt in a mini food processor. Puree until smooth.
3 To prepare sliders: Combine beef, Worcestershire, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Form into 6 patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
4 Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the burgers until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160°F, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Grill onion until lightly browned and tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
5 Assemble each burger on a bun with a generous 1 tablespoon each of the Avocado Mayo, bacon, onion, mango, kale and sprouts.

Make Ahead Tip: Press plastic wrap directly on the surface of the Avocado Mayo (Step 2) and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
