Hearty Cheeseburger Salad

by Rebekah Kuk
Jump to Recipe

A Bunless Cheeseburger?

I have really been enjoying this salad over the past week. It is hearty, flavorful, and makes me feel like I’m eating a cheeseburger without the bun. Except I don’t even miss the bun! All my favorite burger flavors are right here in this salad, and it’s the perfect thing to make for end of summer cookouts that are sure to be happening soon.

Making the Salad

Unlike wrapping a burger in a lettuce leaf (which I’ve done and it’s awkward), this meal is eaten with a fork. The cheeseburger is deconstructed, and lettuce replaces the bun to provide a gluten free, low-carb meal. I love it, and plan to make it for as long as burger season hangs around.

Making the salad is as easy as browning ground beef, cooking bacon, and layering lettuce, pickles, cheese, and mustard. You could also add some homemade mayo for extra decadence.

Let me know if you give this a try and what you think!
