Cheeseburger Salad
We're about to upgrade your favorite cheat meal to a healthier option with less bun but just as much fun!
Ingredients
- 6 ounces ground beef or turkey
- 1 head romaine lettuce washed
- 1 large roma tomato
- ½ cup red onion
- ½ cup cucumber or pickles
- 2 ounces colby jack cheese
Secret Sauce Dressing
- 2 Tbsps sugar-free ketchup
- ¼ cup fat-free mayo
- 2 Tbsp relish
- 2 tsp white vinegar
Instructions
- Form the ground beef or turkey into two 3 ounce patties. Grill on the first side for 3 to 5 minutes until a nice crust forms on the other side and the juices rise to the top. Flip, and continue to cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until cooked through. Allow the patties to rest while you assemble the rest of the salad.
- Tear or chop the lettuce into bite sized pieces. Split it between two bowls.
- Cut the tomato in have lengthwise, and then slice each half into half-moon pieces. Place half the tomato in each bowl.
- Slice the cucumber into half-moon slices and split between the bowls. If you are using pickles instead, place an equal amount in each bowl.
- Slice the red onion according to your preference. To remove the bite, soak them for 5 minutes in a bowl of cold water, drain, pat dry, and then split between the salads.
- Dice the colby jack into cubes and place 1 ounce in each salad.
- Set your burger patty on top or cut up into pieces first, if you want.
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the dressing and whisk thoroughly with a fork. Dress each salad.
