Cheeseburger Salad Bowls

Ingredients

  • 6 cups shredded thin Romaine Iceberg lettuce or other greens of choice
  • 1 lb. lean grass fed ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 tsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced or pressed
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup sliced dill pickles or to taste
  • 1 small red onion sliced thinly
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved or quartered, or 2 large tomatoes, chopped

For the burger sauce:

  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or avocado mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp yellow mustard I added more because I love mustard!
  • 1 Tbsp hot sauce of choice optional
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp organic ketchup or more to taste
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • a pinch of sea salt and fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • Add onions and saute about 3 minutes. Add in the meat and the minced garlic, then cook, until nicely browned, breaking the meat as you go.
  • Drain the excess fat, then season with sea salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add all the burger sauce ingredients and whisk well to combine.
  • Taste test, and adjust to your preference.
  • Place shredded lettuce in a large serving bowl or if meal prepping divide equally among one-serving containers.
  • Top lettuce with chopped tomatoes, red onions, beef, pickles, and cheese.
  • Just before serving, drizzle the burger sauce over the top, then toss well to combine and enjoy!
