Skinny Cheeseburger Salad
Ingredients
Ingredients for Thousand Island Dressing:
- ¾ cup Skinny Kitchen’s Thousand Island Dressing or your favorite light Thousand Island or Ranch dressing
Ingredients for Burger Crumble:
- 1 pound extra-lean ground beef, I used Trader Joe’s (96/4), see shopping tips
- 1 cup yellow onions, diced
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon Lawry’s seasoning salt or salt
- Fresh ground pepper, to taste
Ingredients for Salads:
- 24 cups romaine lettuce (each salad uses 4 cups)
- ¾ cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 3 cups tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Skinny Thousand Island dressing and refrigerate. It can be made several days in advance. Or use a store-bought light Thousand Island or Ranch dressing.
- To make burger crumble: In a large, nonstick pan add ground beef and onions. Brown over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Stir often, breaking up beef, into a crumble. Once browned, pour into a colander in the sink to drain any fat.
- Add browned beef back to the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir often.
- To make one salad: Line a dinner plate with 4 cups lettuce. Top lettuce with ½ cup warm burger crumble. Sprinkle with ½ cup tomatoes (drained). Drizzle 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing over salad. Top with 2 tablespoons cheese.
- You don’t have to make all 6 salads at once. Pack the burger crumble in individual containers and freeze for more salads in the future.
