• 2-3 tbsp water
• salt

Instead of normal (wheat flour) burger buns, I used roasted sweet potato. I added some fresh ruccola, placed the burger on top, drizzled some of the sauce over it and put the avocado and a slice of tomato on it and finished it off with a bit more sauce.
If you prefer, you could also toast some rye bread or seed bread and use it instead of the bun.

Hope you enjoy this one.
