Burger Salad with Dill Pickle Vinaigrette

This salad is everything you love about a burger, but without the bun: introducing burger salad. Served over a bed of romaine lettuce, the ground beef gives you all the hearty flavor of a classic hamburger, except you get to call it healthy and tell everyone you had a salad for lunch - it's a total cheat code! One thing that makes burger salad so fun is that you can customize it just like you do your burgers. For example, with the meat we opted for the simpler method of cooking up some ground beef ala taco salad, but you can also add an extra step and make the ground beef into patties if that texture sounds better to you. 

Another tip: If you're a mustard lover, drizzle a little over the salad as well. If you like turkey burgers, swap the meat out - everything in this burger salad totally up to you!
