These crunchy slaw sandwiches with juicy burgers and crispy fried pickles are a great way to enjoy the tastes of summer. Great for a barbecue in the backyard or a picnic in the sun!

Ingredients: 4 hamburger buns. 4 large lettuce leaves. 1 pound ground beef. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. 1 cup coleslaw mix cabbage and carrots. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. 1 tablespoon honey. 1 cup pickles sliced into rounds. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Vegetable oil for frying. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: In a bowl, mix the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form the mixture into four burger patties. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or skillet as well. In another bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey. Mix well to create the slaw. For the fried pickles, heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350F 175C. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to make a batter. Dip the pickle slices into the batter and then carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. To assemble the sandwiches, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add a burger patty, top with a generous spoonful of slaw, and finally, add a few fried pickle slices. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.

You can make these crunchy and sour pickles in an air fryer. They're great for parties or game day. They are simple to make and better for you than deep-fried pickles.

Ingredients: 1 cup dill pickle slices, drained and patted dry. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/2 teaspoon paprika. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for extra spice. 2 large eggs, beaten. Cooking spray or oil mister.

Instructions: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper if using. In another shallow bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it's well coated. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the pickle slice with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Place the coated pickle slices on a plate or tray. Preheat your air fryer to 400F 200C. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or use an oil mister. Arrange the pickle slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching. Cook in the air fryer for 6-8 minutes, flipping the pickles halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve your crispy air fryer fried pickles hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
