Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced red onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create the dressing.
- Add the cooked ground beef to the salad bowl and drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
- Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes for a refreshing taste.
Notes
- For added crunch, sprinkle some crushed pork rinds on top before serving.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and adjust seasonings to taste.
