Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Pickles
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 Red onion
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Mustard
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and break the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
While the beef cooks, prepare the salad base. Chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, and chop the pickles into small pieces. Thinly slice the red onion quarter. Add all these to the salad bowl.
Top the salad base with the cooked ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and any additional toppings of your choice.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard to create a dressing. Taste and adjust proportions as needed.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad or serve on the side for individual portions.
Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients or serve layered for customizable plating. Serve immediately and enjoy!
