Cheeseburger Salad

A healthier alternative to a burger, and much tastier. This dish is guaranteed not to sit heavily in your stomach like fast food from some quick-service restaurants. And at first glance, this salad might seem rather unhealthy.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 8 tomatoes
• 2 onions
• 8 pickles
• 6 tbsp ketchup
• 2 tbsp mustard
• 6 tbsp yogurt
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 
• 14 oz ground beef 
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Wash the iceberg lettuce leaves and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Remove the stems from the tomatoes and dice the flesh. Peel the onions and slice them into rings. Slice the pickles.
2. Mix ketchup, mustard, and yogurt together, season with salt and pepper. If necessary, add some water to achieve a creamy salad dressing consistency.
3. Brown the ground beef in a pan and mix in the onion rings while still hot.
4. Layer all the ingredients in a salad bowl, placing the warm beef and cheddar cheese on top, then pour the dressing over.

Tip: If desired, you can add two tablespoons of croutons.

Enjoy your healthy and delicious cheeseburger salad!
