Low Carb

While enduring the Atkin's Induction phase of the Atkin's diet. I was DYING for a Halo Burger, a local burger chain's yummy burger. They do offer the "bunless burger" but I hate those things.. they are difficult to eat and the flavors don't quite meld like the real burger in the bun does. But eating it in a salad makes a world of difference.. I didn't miss the bun at all, plus I'm not advertising that I'm doing the atkins this way.. just looks as if I like salad.Measurements aren't exact..it's just a salad, you can't really mess it up. Feel free to add shredded cheese, bacon, sliced green olives, or whatever you like on your burgers. This is just the way that I like mine. I will be suggesting this to Halo burger as a menu item. Note..if you are craving a Whopper,add liquid smoke to the meat, substitute low carb catsup for the mustard. Craving a Big Mac? Omit tomato, sub onions with dried chopped onion soaked in warm water and use low carb thousand island dressing.

Time 15m

Yield 4 salads, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
4 cups chopped lettuce
1 medium tomatoes, chopped
20 hamburger dill pickle slices (coarsely chopped)

1 tablespoon heavy cream (more or less)
salt

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef and onions with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until cooked through.
  • Toss while hot with lettuce, tomato and pickles. You want the lettuce to slightly wilt.
  • In a small bowl, mix together mayo and mustard, then thin it out with heavy cream until thin enough to pour.
  • Stir dressing into salad mixing everything together well.
  • This salad tasted best when ingredients are warm or at least room temperature I sometimes heat for about 30 seconds in the microwave.
  • Be sure to adapt ingredients to include your favorite hamburger toppings.
