I love a good cheeseburger, but I do not always have time to grill one up. Plus, a traditional cheeseburger can be pretty high in calories. While I definitely do not mind indulging in a good burger here and there, I wanted to find a quicker and slightly healthier way to enjoy the flavors.
This Cheeseburger Salad Bowl comes together in minutes and tastes like you are enjoying a juicy burger. And it is only 330 calories! My husband and I loved it so much, it has become one of our go-to easy weeknight meals.
To make the recipe, you need all the traditional burger toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese. Feel free to get creative, though, and add others.
What makes this salad so great, is the “dressing”. All the favorite burger condiments come together to create a “special sauce” for this salad. This recipe combines mayo, ketchup, and mustard with pickle juice and spices. It may sound like an odd combination, but trust me, it is delicious! If you are not a fan of one of the condiments, adjust the quantity slightly so another ingredient shines through more.
The nutritional value will vary greatly depending on the ingredients, so you may need to recalculate depending on what ingredients you select. This salad was filling enough on its own so no need to whip up any sides to go with it. You will definitely want to add this recipe to your list of quick, healthy, and delicious go-to meals!
