Cheeseburger Salad : All the Flavor, None of the Guilt!

Cheeseburger Salad…
This cheeseburger salad is a delicious, low-carb twist on the classic cheeseburger, perfect for those looking to enjoy the flavours of a burger without the added carbs from a bun. It combines all the savoury, tangy, and crunchy elements of a cheeseburger in a refreshing, healthy salad form.

Ingredients:

  • 450g (1 lb) minced beef (ground beef)
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 150g (1 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 100g (1 cup) grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 large dill pickle (gherkin), diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 15ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
  • 15ml (1 tablespoon) Dijon mustard
  • 30ml (2 tablespoons) mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to make Cheeseburger Salad:

  1. Cook the minced beef: Heat a frying pan (skillet) over medium heat. Add the minced beef, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  2. Cook until fully browned, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: While the beef is cooking, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the dill pickle (gherkin).
  4. Assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, grated cheddar cheese, and diced dill pickle (gherkin). Toss to mix well.
  5. Add the beef: Once the minced beef has cooled slightly, add it to the salad mixture. Toss again to distribute the beef evenly throughout the salad.
  6. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat all ingredients evenly.

Serve: Divide the salad into individual bowls. Top each serving with avocado slices.

Enjoy immediately.
