Instructions

To prepare the strawberry salsa, combine the Colavita olive oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, mint, cilantro, jalapeno, pepper and salt in medium bowl. Stir in the strawberries, avocado and onion. Set aside while making patties.

Preheat gas grill to medium high heat.

To make the patties, in a large bowl gently combine the ground chuck, Grey Poupon Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 6 equal sized patties. Lightly brush the grill rack with oil. Arrange the patties on grill rack. Grill in a covered grill 9 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking for medium doneness, or cook until desired doneness.

During the last few minutes of grilling arrange the poppy seed rolls cut side down on the outer edges of the grill rack to toast.

To assemble the burgers, arrange a patty on each roll bottom, top with the fresh spinach leaves (evenly dividing between each). Spoon a generous portion of the strawberry salsa on top of the spinach then top with remaining roll halves and serve immediately.
