Cilantro Edamame Burger is so good and so perfect for the fabulous Sunday (father’s day) that no one can stop with just one burger.

Simple to make and can be grilled easily this burger will bring lots of laughter and togetherness to your family on this special occasion.

Both Rohit and my dad are extremely fond of burgers and for them burgers have to look good, appealing and super delicious. If we go for burgers it is soooooo special for them. They plan endlessly looking at the menu and the drinks and sides that will pair well with their choices of burgers. I always watch their plate as to what’s going into their mouths. They sometimes hide from me and indulge a bit too much 🙂

So this time I came up with Cilantro Edamame Burger so that I don’t have to rack my brains with their nutrition and healthy food choices and they can freely enjoy their day 🙂

So the father’s day Sunday is almost planned and the only thing left is the gift. Hmmm. That’s tough…….. I want to make it so special for them so I will leave you all here with this recipe to try and prep your weekend and I will quickly run to the mall to get some special surprise gifts for both the dads 🙂
