Whole grain bread offers more fiber, while white bread is often cheaper.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and still effective for grilling.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Brush sweet onions with olive oil.

Score the tops of the portabella mushrooms and remove the stems.

Brush balsamic vinaigrette over the scored portabella mushrooms.

Sprinkle salt over the onions and portabella mushrooms.

Place portabella mushrooms cap-side down on the grill along with the onions, oil side down.

Close the lid and set a timer for 5 minutes.

Flip the portabella mushrooms after 5 minutes and brush the second side of the onions with olive oil.

Use a two spatula technique to flip the onions carefully.

Toast the burger buns on the grill for a couple of minutes.

Spread soft fresh goat cheese on the bottom and top buns.

Assemble the burger starting with a portabella mushroom cap-side down, followed by grilled onion, and then another portabella mushroom on top.

Add a generous amount of spinach to the burger.
