BBQ'd Bison sliders with Garlic Chilli Mayo and Caramelized Onions

Inspiration: cute little slider buns that caught my eye in the market. Sliders are a fun take on the typical burger, and making mini burgers allows you to be creative with toppings. We had a selection of different items to choose for each one and we ended up with a delicious, perfect summer meal!

We decided to forego the usual beef burger for leaner, local and organic bison. B added a bit of Worcestershire, soy sauce, garlic, and salt and pepper to the meat, before throwing it on the grill. 

For toppings, we went with a selection of Garlic chilli mayo, caramelized onions, micro greens, pickled beets, tomato, and old cheddar. On the side, we served fresh, cold watermelon.

Garlic chilli mayo:

3 cloves garlic, roasted

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1 cup mayo (if you're ambitious, you can make your own. We used the light olive oil type).
