Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup dill pickles, diced

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup keto-friendly mayonnaise

2 tablespoons mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula.

Season the beef with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, dill pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create a creamy dressing. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Add the cooked ground beef to the salad bowl and pour the dressing over the top. Toss everything together until well combined.

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes for a colder dish.
