Blueberry-Beef Burgers

Whatever the season, burgers remain America's favorite sandwich. When it is too cold to grill outdoors, broil the patties or use an indoor grill. In addition to the standard fixings—ketchup, salsa, onions and tomatoes—make your burgers more nutritious by adding dark greens, such as watercress or spinach.

Fresh blueberries are a joy to eat, especially straight from the berry patch in the summer. They burst with flavor, delivering a hit of sweetness to whatever dish you add them to. Super-nutritious, blueberries are rich in the cancer-fighting antioxidants anthocyanins and ellagic acid. Those antioxidants propel blueberries to the top of the list of fruits and vegetables that can destroy free radicals and counter the effects of aging. One cup of fresh blueberries has only 83 calories plus 3.5 mg fiber (12% daily value), 112 mg potassium and 14 mg vitamin C (25% dv). So don’t hold back your blueberry love—just pop 'em in your mouth, berry by berry, or try EatingWell's favorite blueberry recipes.
