Lentil Burger with Tahini Slaw

Lately, I have been eating a lot of veggie burgers. This lentil burger with tahini slaw is one of the best I have made. It has an amazing blend of flavors from a great mix of vegetables inside the burger. What really sets this veggie burger apart from other veggie burgers is the tahini slaw that sits on top because it adds a satisfying crunch that would normally be missing. The smoothness of the tahini dressing flavor is a fantastic addition as well.
