'Herby' Burgers with Chive Mayo and Apple Slaw

Great recipe for grilling.  Use fresh herbs and apples!  Give this one a try-I know you'll love it!

Preheat grill to medium high.  Combine the beef, pork, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.  Form into 4 patties.  Grill them for about 4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

FOR THE CHIVE MAYO:
1/2 cup yogurt, sour cream or mayonnaise (low fat is fine)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
3-4 dashes Tabasco sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.  Refrigerate until needed.

FOR THE APPLE SLAW:
3 apples of your choice, peeled, cored and grated

Toast the buns and spread each top with the chive mayo.  Place burger on the bun and top with the apple slaw.
