Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 oz romaine lettuce (or iceberg if desired)
1 cup tomatoes (chopped)
3/4 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/2 cup pickles (diced)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (dressing)
2 tbsp pickles (diced) (dressing)
2 tsp mustard (dressing)
1 tsp white vinegar (dressing)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika (dressing)
1 1/2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or any sweetener of choice; adjust to taste) (dressing)
Directions:
- 1. Cook ground beef in a skillet over high heat. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Stir fry, breaking up the pieces with a spatula, for about 7-10 minutes, until the beef is browned and moisture has evaporated.
- 2. Meanwhile, puree all the dressing ingredients in a blender. If dressing is thicker than you like, thin out with water or oil and puree again. Adjust sweetener to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 3. Combine the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl. Add the ground beef. Toss with dressing.
Bon Appetit!
