Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
Thinly slice tomato. Peel, and cut half the onion into 1/8-inch rounds (whole onion for 4 ppl). Separate the onion rounds into rings. Peel, pit, then cut avocado into 1/2-inch pieces. Stir together mayo and Dijon in a small bowl. (NOTE: This is your Dijonaise!) Set aside.
Combine pork, panko, Worcestershire, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a medium bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a firmer patty, add an egg to the mixture.) Form pork into two 4-inch wide burger patties (four patties for 4 ppl).
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then patties. Pan-fry, until cooked through, 4-5 min per side.** When the patties are almost cooked through, top with cheese. Cover and cook until cheese melts, 1 min.
While patties cook, whisk together vinegar, 2 tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add the avocado and arugula and spinach mix, then toss to coat.
Divide the salad between plates. Top with tomatoes, onion rings, patties, pickles and crispy shallots. Dollop the Dijonaise over top.
