Paneer Cheese Burgers with Cilantro Mayo
So, these are perfect for Meatless Mondays! I’ve been meaning to try vegetarian burgers and paneer (Indian cheese) is the perfect thing to use. I grated the cheese and added a lot of yummy flavorings, including, cilantro, mint and dill! So, go get paneer (usually at Whole Foods) or definitely at the Indian store and try these!
