Perfect Pesto Burger | Healthy Recipe

Scroll down for full recipe and instructions 

This is an Italian inspired monster burger!  I used Slimming Worlds own burgers from Iceland, stacked with melted mozzarella, tomatoes mushrooms and a creamy pesto.  

The pesto can be used again for pasta or even as a tasty dip- keep in the fridge for up to 3 days! If you would rather make your own burgers, click here for my syn free burger recipe.  Fab with or without a wholemeal roll. 



Extra Easy Syn Values: Free

Healthy extras:  A (and B if serving with 60g wholemeal roll)
