Cheeseburger Salad

A salad that is hearty enough to fill you up? Yes! Honestly, this one hardly feels as though it’s low-carb at all.

Makes 4 servings

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Homemade Sugar-Free Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon pickle relish
• 1 tablespoon minced onion
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon monkfruit sweetener
• Dash hot sauce
• Salt
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
• 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Dill pickle slices, optional

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons water with the mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, relish, onion, vinegar, sweetener, hot sauce, and a pinch of salt. Set the dressing aside.

In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking the beef up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and mix together. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

Divide the romaine, tomatoes, and cheese equally among four large bowls or plates. Spoon the beef mixture equally over the salads. Drizzle each bowl with 2 heaping tablespoons dressing. Garnish with pickle slices, if using. Serve immediately.
