Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (if using very lean meat)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chopped romaine or mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • 1 dill pickle, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Burger Sauce

  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon pickle juice or vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Break the meat up with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the meat aside.
  2. Make the Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle juice or vinegar, and salt and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the chopped romaine or mixed greens equally among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with cooked ground beef, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, diced red onion, chopped dill pickle, and sliced avocado.
  4. Serve: Drizzle the prepared burger sauce over each bowl and serve immediately for the freshest taste and texture.

Notes

  • For added crunch, consider topping the bowl with roasted chickpeas or air-fried potato cubes.
  • Make it low-carb by skipping the ketchup or cheese.
  • Use dairy-free cheese and yogurt for a paleo-friendly or dairy-free version.
