In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Season with ground black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the no-salt-added Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, and lemon juice to make the dressing.
In large serving bowls, divide the romaine lettuce as the base.
Top each bowl with equal amounts of cooked beef mixture, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, yellow bell pepper, and avocado slices.
Drizzle the mustard dressing over the top and toss lightly to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutritious low sodium deconstructed burger bowl!
