Who is ready for a delicious beef blended burger?
I am about to share a fabulously fresh take on beef burger sliders and this time without the carbs from buns.
Farmer’s markets always lead to inspiration and the stores are chocked full of fresh produce.
Your local produce section or Farmer’s market, offers a fresh bounty of vegetables, lots of mushroom options and ripe, juicy fruit!
It’s time to load your basket up with some of their options and create healthier lighter meals.
I’ve created ‘Just Peachy‘ Air-Fried Blended Beef Burger Sliders Salad to increase the nutrients and vitamins derived from veggies and fruit.
At the same time, the blended beef burger created from both mushrooms and beef offers a more nutritious, delicious, and moist approach to burger consumption.
Better yet, you don’t need a grill to make these sliders, nor do you need to mess up your stove.
The Blended beef burger sliders are air-fried and easy! Want to know how to make this recipe?

My bet is by the time you are done shopping for this salad and the ingredients, you will be a pro in the fresh produce section.
Also, I am certain you will convert all your burgers, from full-size to sliders to a blended beef creation.
Where’s the grill in all of this?
I used an air-fryer instead.
You might ask me why?
First, air fryers are one of my favorite small kitchen appliances, because it can be used year-round.
Additionally, air fryers can prepare recipes that range from fried eggs, baked goods, to seafood and burgers!
Last, and maybe my favorite reason for using an air-fryer rather than the grill is that it is fast, easy, and consistent with every meal I cook.
There’s no guessing work, and cleanup is a breeze.
Of course, you can look at some of my other recipes like Twisted Pepperoni, Firecracker Shrimp, Donuts, etc. to get a feel for its capabilities.
What’s in the Blended Beef Slider Salad?
Untraditional, but right on trend is what you might gather at first glance.
The sliders are a simple mixture of ground beef, with a blend of mixed mushrooms and topped off with a dusting of Applewood and that’s just the beginning of your tastebuds’ journey.
The sharp contrast of the moist mushroom/beef blended Applewood-seasoned sliders, against the delectable taste of fresh peaches is one taste.
But this is also loaded , the crunch of Dino Kale, red cabbage. avocado, cucumber, and red onion making it dynamic!
However, the truest bliss comes in when you top it off with a kiss of Balsamic Glaze, a swirl of Chipotle Dressing, and a few pieces of shaved Manchego.
Manchego tastes a little nutty, not sharp, and yet offers a gritty parmesan-like flavor with less salt. Because it is hard, it shaves nicely making it easy to work with.
Truly, it just sends the flavor of the already tasty Sliders over the top! Wait till you taste this!
