  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound lean ground beef for the main protein that gives that hearty burger feel

– 3 heads romaine lettuce, chopped and washed forms the fresh, crisp base of the salad

– 1 red onion, thinly sliced (white onion can be used as a substitute) adds a sharp, savory crunch

– Freshly shredded cheddar cheese (use as needed for topping) provides a melty, creamy element

– 3 Roma tomatoes, chopped (cherry, grape, or vine-ripened tomatoes can be used as substitutes) brings juicy sweetness and color

– 1/2 cup dill pickles, minced delivers that essential tangy bite

– Sesame seeds for garnish (optional; use as desired) adds a nice finishing touch for extra flavor and texture

– 1 cup mayonnaise serves as the creamy base

– 1/4 cup prepared French dressing or ketchup gives it that signature sweet and tangy kick

– 2 tablespoons minced pickles enhances the zesty flavor

– 2 tablespoons minced onion (red or white) adds a fresh, sharp note

– 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar (pickle juice can be used as a substitute) balances the richness with acidity

Instructions

1-First, whip up the special sauce by whisking 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup prepared French dressing or ketchup, 2 tablespoons minced pickles, 2 tablespoons minced onion, and 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar together in a small bowl. Let it sit to blend the flavors, as it tastes even better after a day or two.

2-Next, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 pound lean ground beef, letting it sear until browned on the bottom. Add a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce, season with salt and pepper, and cook until it’s all done. Drain on a paper towel to remove any excess fat and let it cool a bit.

3-Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 7-10 minutes until fully cooked.

4-While the meat cooks, wash and chop 3 heads romaine lettuce, then slice 1 red onion and mince the pickles.

5-In a large bowl, mix the cooked beef with the chopped lettuce, sliced onion, 3 chopped Roma tomatoes, and 1/2 cup minced dill pickles.

6-Add freshly shredded cheddar cheese and toss gently to combine.

7-Drizzle the special sauce over the top and mix until everything is evenly coated.

8-Garnish with sesame seeds if you like, and serve right away for the freshest taste.
