Saute for 5-7 minutes, remove mushrooms from heat and set aside (5-7 minutes to cool.) Reserve two tablespoons of mixture for later, then put the rest in a large mixing bowl.
Preheat air fryer to 350° F. While the air fryer is preheating, create sliders. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic, and breadcrumbs to mixing bowl with mushrooms. Mix really well and form 6-8 small sliders. Add applewood rub to the top of each slider.
Air fry sliders one at a time for 8-12 minutes each (depending on your preference of rare to well-cooked.) While these are cooking, begin salad preparation.
Layer a large serving platter with baby mixed greens, next scatter arugula. Add dino kale/red cabbage mix. Next, around the interior of the bowl, surround lettuce bed with the 1/2 slices of tomato all the way around.
Add sliders. Place sliders down the middle of the salad, layering them upon one another until you go end-to-end on the bowl. Now, start adding the veggies. Peaches, avocado, tomato, red onion, corn, cucumber, then shaved cheese. Last, drizzle the burgers with chipotle dressing and the lettuce mixture with balsamic drizzle.
