Margot uses this nutty, chewy ingredient in veggie burgers, adding pinto beans, scallions and carrots for extra flavor and slathering them with tahini mayonnaise. Lucinda whips up a cold potato salad with sour cream and scallions that's a great side for any burger. Sarah makes tandoori-style chicken burgers with warming spices like fresh ginger, cardamom and cumin. Tucked into pita pockets, they're served with a cooling cumin yogurt sauce.
