  5. Chop the other half along with the tomatoes and beetroot.
  6. Place in a serving bowl.
  7. To prepare the dressing, mix together the lime juice, oil and crushed garlic.
  8. Finely chop the green chilli, add to the dressing and season to taste.
  9. Pour dressing over the salad and lightly toss.
  10. When the burgers are cooked, top each with some crumbled blue stilton and some slices of red chilli.
  11. Grill until just melted.
  12. Toast the burger buns
  13. Add a few cucumber ribbons to each roll base, add a burger and top with a lid.
  14. Serve immediately with the salad on the side.
