Looking to switch your burger up from the usual ketchup, relish and mustard version? This summer, toss out that yellow cheese in favour of stunning toppings and fun mayonnaise-based sauces. Here are 10 recipes that’ll be a backyard hit this season.

1. Spicy Korean-Style Burgers with Kimchi, Quick Pickled Vegetables and Fried Eggs
