According to Food Genius’s “Flipping the Burger: Menu Trends and Insights” report, peppers appeared on 25 percent of burgers, a percentage point above pickles, while avocado (8 percent), aioli (5 percent), and salsa (4 percent) broke into the list of top 14 toppings. Three quarters of all burgers include at least one type of vegetable, while 50 percent come with a sauce.
