DIRECTIONS

Make dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing ingredients.

Make burgers: In another large bowl, combine beef with Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until just combined. Form into 4 patties.

Heat a large grill pan over medium heat then grill onions until charred and tender, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill pan and add burgers. Cook until seared on both sides and cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium.

Assemble: In a large bowl toss lettuce with 1/2 the dressing and divide between 4 bowls. Top each with a burger patty, grilled onions, 1/4 avocado and tomato slices. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve.
