Nope. I'm not crazy! Turn your burgers and cheeseburgers into a salad!
Think about it.
Lettuce - check.
Tomatoes - check.
Onions - check.
Cheese - check.
Pickles - check.
Thousand Island dressing - check.
Top with sesame seeds - check.
Trade off the bun for croutons (or leave out the carbs).
All the key ingredients for that classic double yellow arches, two all beef patty, MacBurger - turned into a salad! This Big M Burger Salad could be scaled up and served in a big platter for pool parties (I'm thinking of bringing one to my son and daughter-in-law's house this summer) and barbecues or as a main meal for one or two!
Why haven't we talked about this before now?
Chop up your lettuce, add diced, fresh tomatoes, chopped onion and pickles, either chunks of cheddar or American cheese, dress with Thousand Island or your own secret sauce, sprinkle on some sesame seeds, add your freshly grilled hamburger on top, and this salad is ready!
Crispy, crunchy, juicy. All the flavor combinations you have come to love and recognize from a class hamburger loaded with fresh toppings.
Yes, you can swap out the burger for grilled chicken. Yes, you could also use grilled steak, or shrimp or whatever protein you like, but really, the idea is to give you all the flavors of that juicy burger with a higher ratio of salad.

I'm looking forward to the warmer weather, safely gathering again with friends and family, and celebrating the longer days and just being together. The restrictions of the pandemic have shown how sweet it really is to be together and Fed Well!
