WeightWatchers Double Salsa Burgers Recipe

I know it’s not that healthy, but I enjoy eating burgers once in a while. They’re my favorite comfort food (besides pasta, of course).

I tried this burger recipe the other day, and I loved it. The salsa really gives it a special flavor…

1/4 cup finely chopped red onions
1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon snipped cilantro
1/3 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
