Beyond California Burger
What we’ve learned in the test kitchen is that Beyond Burger goes from good to great when you pair it with a little fat. Cue the sun-dried tomato aioli in this easy, delicious recipe. We make it with vegan mayo, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, pungent garlic and zingy L&B Lemon Pepper Seasoning. It’s rich and full of umami, and it really makes this meal sing.
