Hamburger party with a twist
28 May 2026
Today is Burger Day and that is the time to vary your burger. Because besides the classic burger, there are many more surprising combinations possible. Think of a burger with mushrooms, fresh vegetables or spicy toppings. There is plenty of inspiration to get started yourself with tasty burgers for lunch, dinner or barbecue.
Mini mushroom burgers
One of the standout recipes are mini mushroom burgers. Made with mushrooms, onion, garlic and cashew nuts, these burgers are delicious on a mini whole-wheat bun with batavia lettuce. The combination of mushrooms and mustard gives the burgers a savoury flavour and firm bite. The mini-sized burgers are ideal as lunch, light supper or appetiser. Moreover, they are easy to prepare in advance, so perfect for a cosy burger day.
Burger with pepper salad
The burger with pepper salad is also highly recommended. This recipe combines a burger with fresh ingredients such as pepper, tomato, onion, mint and fresh goat cheese. The colourful pepper salad provides a fresh counterpart to the hot burger and makes the dish extra summery. The combination of vegetables and herbs creates a burger that is not only tasty, but also stays nice and fresh and light.
Salmon burgers with sweet potato fries
Salmon burgers with sweet-potato fries are another tasty variation for Hamburger Day. The combination of a tender salmon burger with crispy sweet potato fries provides a surprising twist on the classic burger meal. The sweet potato gives the dish a slightly sweet flavour that goes well with the savoury burger. A fresh salad on the side finishes it off.
Vegetables in the lead
What these recipes mainly show is how versatile burgers can be. Mushrooms provide a firm texture, peppers add freshness and sweet potato provides a surprising twist alongside the burger.
Also, a burger is only complete with tasty side dishes. Classics like fries remain popular, but you can also opt for variety. Sweet potato fries, grilled vegetables or a fresh salad fit perfectly alongside a burger.
