Here are our top four ways to bun, from classic to \u201cgreen.\u201d<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Classic Buns<\/strong><br \/>\nThe classic: Arnold\u2019s white buns. Soft, tender, and delicious, they hold their own against the juiciest of burgers and toppings (and melt in your mouth).<\/li>\n<li><strong> English Muffins<\/strong><br \/>\nClassic with a twist: The English muffin. The trademark nooks and crannies catch all the juicy overflow from the burgers and the condiments. New Thomas\u2019 Grillers XL English Muffins are made to hold large patties (ideal for hardy appetites).<\/li>\n<li><strong> Lettuce Wraps<\/strong><br \/>\nLooking for a lighter, no-carb, yet still satisfying option? Try iceburg lettuce. It stands up against the biggest burgers, but won\u2019t fill you up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51714 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.freshdirect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Untitled-design16.png\" alt=\"untitled-design16\" width=\"680\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Untitled-design16.png 680w, https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Untitled-design16-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Untitled-design16-260x260.png 260w, https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Untitled-design16-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Avocado<\/strong><br \/>\nOur last (and most adorable) option is the \u201cgreenest\u201d \u2013 the avocado! To make it: Simply peel a whole avocado, then cut through the middle around the pit. Sprinkle with a little salt and sesame seeds, place your patty between the slices, and wow your guests with this amazing bun alternative.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Try something different with your burger this Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61027,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2736,1621,1601,2737,2732],"tags":[1891,1021,2993,2967],"class_list":["post-51691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dinner-recipes-2","category-easy-diy","category-easy-entertaining","category-lunch-recipes-2","category-recipes","tag-avocado","tag-burgers","tag-keto","tag-low-carb"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61027"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51691\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.freshdirect.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
