Smashburger Salad
This smashburger salad is our favorite way to enjoy a burger bowl these days! Refreshing lettuce and all your favorite burger toppings, under a blanket of smashed patties covered in melty cheese. So delicious and satisfying!
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 slices sharp white cheddar cheese
- 10 ounces butter lettuce
- 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup chopped pickles
- dill pickle vinaigrette, for topping
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Season the ground beef with lots of salt and pepper, then divide it into 4 pieces.
- Once the skillet is hot, press each piece of ground beef into the skillet, using the bottom of a jar or spatula to smash it into the skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, then flip and smash the other side into the skillet. You want golden, crisp edges!
- Place a piece of cheddar over each smash burger. Let it melt completely, then remove the burgers from the skillet.
- Place the lettuce in a bowl and toss it with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Add in the tomatoes and pickles. Tear or cut the smash burgers into pieces and scatter them over the salad.
- Drizzle with the caramelized shallot vinaigrette and serve!
