Preparation

1. Place the cucumber, carrot, and jalapeno matchsticks in a jar. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, honey (if using), and salt. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Pour the liquid over the vegetables in the jar. Place the pickled vegetables in the refrigerator, uncovered, to chill while you complete the rest of the recipe.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.

3. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted and crispy.

4. Form the ground beef into 4 thin patties and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet followed by the patties and cook until no longer pink in the middle, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

5. Assemble the burger bowls. Evenly distribute the lettuce among 4 bowls. Top with cilantro leaves, pickled vegetables, toasted bread cubes, and a burger patty. Drizzle with dressing and enjoy!
