ranch burgers and apple salad

The technicians were here all day, and we now have a house that is filling with cool air; it's so refreshing!

Tonight for dinner we enjoyed Ranch Burgers and Apple Salad. Apple Salad is a favorite of mine from college (thanks, Jess), and although it isn't overly healthy, it is very easy, usually thrown together just before mealtime when I'm wanting to add a bit more to dinner, and it tastes cool and summery.

Ranch Burgers

1 1/4 lb lean ground beef
3/4 cup ranch dressing
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 c minced onion
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

In large bowl, mix all ingredients together. Shape into 6 patties. Grill. Serve on buns with lettuce, onions, and red onion slices. Yum!

Apple Salad

6-8 apples, cut into bite size pieces (I usually use different kinds of apples because that's what I buy and have on hand, it's pretty to have multi-colored apples in the bowl on the table)
8 oz. whipped topping, thawed
1 large candy bar (snickers and symphony are our favorites, chocolate chips are also tasty, we don't care for m&ms in this salad)

Mix all together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
