From the Test Kitchen

Chefs! All summer long, we’re bringing you a mix of recipes designed for our favorite outdoor activity—grilling! These flavor-packed burgers feature ground chorizo (a type of Mexican spiced pork sausage) topped with rounds of sautéed onion grilled to charred perfection, plus a swipe of fig spread combined with mayonnaise lends it all sweet, creamy contrast. It's all served alongside a crisp salad finished with our new herby green goddess dressing.
