Cheeseburger Salad

This cheeseburger salad is a deconstructed cheeseburger in a bowl (minus the bun)! It's made with beef, cheese, tomatoes, pickles, onions, and lettuce. And the dressing is Thousand Island Dressing, which actually uses many of the same ingredients as a classic burger sauce!

About This Recipe

This recipe has all the flavors of a cheeseburger in salad form. It even uses Thousand Island Dressing, which is similar in flavor to a classic burger sauce! Every bite tastes like a cheeseburger; and the creaminess from the dressing takes it to the next level.

This salad is especially tasty if you make it with a leftover burger patty: you can crumble the burger and add it to the salad.

Top this salad with your favorite pickles, cheese, tomatoes and onions just like you would your burger! It's a versatile salad that's tasty with just about any toppings and would work with most dressings too.
