Method

Preheat the grill to its highest setting or light the barbecue.
Mix the cucumber vinegar and sugar together and set aside to pickle.
Meanwhile, mix together the salad ingredients and toss well and leave to one side to marinate, while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Rub the sweet potato rounds with a little olive oil, and barbecue or place on a baking tray and grill for 10-12 mins each side until cooked through and slightly charred.
Cook the burgers according to the pack instructions, placing a piece of cheese on top of the burger the last 2 mins of cooking.
To serve, place a sweet potato round on plate and top with frilly lettuce, a burger, sliced avocado and the pickled cucumber. Serve with salad on the side.
