Instructions

Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, chives, tarragon, anchovy, and garlic in a food processor; pulse about 10 times to blend. The mixture should be a pale green. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.

Preheat gas grill to high.
To make patties: combine buffalo, beef, horseradish, onion and salt in a large bowl. Handling as little as possible shape into 6 patties. Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover and reduce heat to medium-high. Cook, turning once, 5-7 minutes per side for medium or longer if one desires well done. Top burgers with cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling. Place the buns, cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill rack during the final minute of grilling to toast to a light golden brown.

To assemble burgers: Spread bottom half of toasted roll with mustard; layer with salad greens and then the cheese topped burger; spread with herbed mayo and sour cream mixture and then cover with the top of the bun.
