Into a bowl add 1 diced dill pickle, 1 tbsp capers, 1 tsp Dijon, 2 tbsp greek yogurt, 2 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tsp lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

Form your patties and place on individual squares of parchment paper. This helps them keep their shape.

Place a frying pan over medium heat and add in about 2 tbsp of olive oil. Once heated, gently lay your patties and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 min on each side. Remove your patties from the pan. Toast your buns, slice your tomato, top with fresh greens and enjoy!
