The burger has five visible layers: the bottom bun is light brown and soft-looking, followed by bright green leafy lettuce that looks fresh and slightly curly; above the lettuce are small, diced white and green cucumber pieces; next is a melted slice of yellow cheddar cheese draped over the cucumbers; and on top is a thick spread of creamy, orange sauce with small black specks.
