Rainbow Slaw
To a bowl, add dry coleslaw mix, sliced peppers, pineapple pieces, and chopped cilantro.
Add lime juice, olive oil, honey and pinches of salt and pepper. Toss well to evenly coat. Taste and adjust seasonings per preference; set aside.
Lime Aioli
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, Dijon, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.
Beef Burgers
Turn on grill and preheat to medium heat. As grill heats, prepare your patties.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Gently combine until mixed, being careful not to over work.
Form into three-ounce patties (each pound will yield roughly 5, 3-oz patties) and lightly season the exterior of the patties.
Place patties on the grill, cover, and let cook for 4-5 minutes, each side, until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
About 2 minutes before the burgers are done, add buns and grill until lightly toasted.
Once burgers and buns are grilled, assemble and pair with your favorite colorful summertime sides!
