Protein: 32–36 grams Fiber: 3–4 grams This salad contains deconstructed burger ingredients—ground beef, lettuce, cheese, onions, and pickles—topped with a homemade special sauce. And, it's perfect for Shelf-tember because I had EVERYTHING on hand. Salad Base and Toppings: - Lettuce: Chopped iceberg or romaine lettuce provides the crisp, crunchy base. - Ground Beef: Cooked and seasoned ground beef (often with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of Worcestershire sauce) acts as the warm or cooled meat layer. - Cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese adds a creamy, sharp flavor. - Onion: Finely diced or thinly sliced white or red onion gives it a classic sharp bite. - Pickles: Chopped dill pickles or dill pickle chips bring the tangy flavor. - Extras: Optional additions include chopped tomatoes and a garnish of toasted sesame seeds to mimic the iconic bun. Special Sauce Dressing - Base: Mayonnaise forms the creamy foundation. - Tang and Flavor: Sweet pickle relish (or minced pickles), yellow mustard, and a splash of white vinegar or pickle juice. - Color and Spices: A touch of ketchup or French dressing, along with paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
