Yield: Ingredients (Serves 4–6):
- 8 Hawaiian rolls or mini slider buns (brioche preferred)
- 1 Sugartown Smoked Duck Breast, thinly sliced (add link)
-
Premade lemon dill yogurt spread (try this brand! also available in dairy free)
Or DIY version:- 1–2 cups plain Greek Style yogurt
- Juice of 1–2 lemons
-
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
- Coleslaw mix or Rainbow Slaw store-bought (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh mango, sliced (pre-cut or ripened at home)
-
Olive oil or neutral oil, for grilling buns (optional)
Instructions:
1. Get the Grill Going (or Use a Skillet)
Brush the slider buns lightly with oil. Toast cut-side down on a hot grill or skillet until golden brown or grill-marked. This gives them a little crunch to hold all the juicy fillings.
2. Prep the Mango
Use pre-sliced mango or cut it fresh—ripe mango slices give these sliders a burst of sunshine-y sweetness. If you're feeling extra, give them a quick sear on the grill for added flavor depth.
3. Mix the Spread (if DIY-ing)
In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Adjust to taste. You want tangy, bright, and herby.
4. Build the Sliders
Start with the bottom bun. Add a swipe of the lemon dill spread, then layer:
- Thin slices of smoked duck
- A spoonful of slaw for crunch
- Mango slices for sweet contrast
- Top with the bun lid and press lightly.
5. Serve
Perfect warm or at room temperature—ideal for long, lazy afternoons.

Party Tip:
