Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle slices, chopped
  • 4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Special Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles. Cook for another minute until the cheese is melted.
  4. While the beef is cooking, prepare the special sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
  5. To assemble the salads, divide the shredded lettuce between two bowls.
  6. Top the lettuce with the seasoned ground beef and pickle mixture.
  7. Drizzle generously with the special sauce.

Notes

  • For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • You can add other keto-friendly toppings like chopped tomatoes or onions if desired.
  • This salad can be prepped ahead of time. Store the beef mixture and sauce separately and assemble just before serving.
