I love big, juicy, grilled hamburgers, but, with all the "stuff" I put on them (like lettuce, tomato, onion, green pepper, etc.) I have to eat it with a knife and fork!! Sure takes the fun out of eating a burger!! So, I came up with this recipe to solve that problem! It is a creamy iceberg lettuce "slaw" with all the ingredients of a California hamburger, but when piled on top of your burger, makes it much easier to eat with your hands!! Hope you enjoy this different take on the classic burger! You can also eat it as a side salad as shown in the picture.
