To celebrate the arrival of warmer weather, why not dig out the barbecue and sizzle up some tasty dishes the whole family can enjoy?
Use Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb and Scottish prawns to support your local producers and, to keep things relaxed and easy, use Knorr Flavour Pots.

BACON AND AVOCADO MAY BURGER
SERVES 4
400g lean mince beef
4 rashers lean bacon
2 tomatoes
1 small red onion
4 burger buns
FOR THE MAYONNAISE
2 dollops Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise
1 ripe avocado
1/2 a lime Pepper
Place the mince beef in a medium-sized bowl, season with pepper and mix well. Divide the mince into 4 evenly sized balls and flatten into burger shapes with the palms of your hands. Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh and then cut into even sized cubes. Place the avocado in a small bowl, then add the mayonnaise, lime zest and juice, season with pepper and mix well. Place the burgers on the BBQ and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, or to your taste. Once cooked, remove and keep in a warm place. Now cook the bacon for 1 minute on both sides, until crispy. Place the burgers in the buns, top with tomatoes and onions, then the avocado mayonnaise and finish with the crispy bacon and serve.
