Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (80% lean, 20% fat) Substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing the beef’s natural flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust to suit your heat preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can replace it but use less.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Feel free to switch with fresh onions for a punchier flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Regular paprika works too if you prefer a milder taste.
  • 4 slices Cheddar Cheese Melts beautifully over the patties.
For the Salad Base
  • 4 cups Mixed Salad Greens Can mix different greens according to your preference.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Halved, adds sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion Thinly sliced; can be omitted if not a fan.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Clean the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently and shape into 4 patties.
  3. Place formed patties on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip and grill for another 4–5 minutes, adding cheese in the last minute.
  4. Combine salad greens, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and dill pickles in a large bowl. Toss gently and set aside.
  5. Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, olive oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. After grilling, let the burgers rest for about 2 minutes.
  7. Assemble the bowls by placing salad mixture in bowls, topping with a burger patty, and drizzling dressing just before serving.
