Burger and Simple Crunchy Salad Bowl

March 26, 2024

Combining my two favorite summer dishes to create a refreshing twist to your next backyard BBQ: burgers and crunchy salads!

I love my Moroccan meatballs, so I decided to turn them into burgers and serve them over a simple crunchy salad. Something as simple as crunchy, non-starchy vegetable salad can truly be the perfect pairing to a hearty burger. If you've never tried a lettuce-free salad, you'll have to give this recipe a try! I love that they are a great meal prep option during the warmer months and can be left in the fridge for a day to really bring out the flavor. I especially love how juicy tomatoes go so well with a greasy burger. This will be sure to satisfy your burger cravings sans the bun. With the flavorful combination of herbs and spices in your burger, you won't even notice it's missing.

It's also a surefire way to keep your blood sugar balanced with the Fab Four. Burgers provide protein, while a salad bowl offers plenty of vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and fiber. And if your looking for a little something extra, a sprinkle of goat cheese or feta can go a long way here.

Keep it simple friends. Salt. Fat. Acid. Heat. Am I right?!

Ingredients

Burger:

3 lbs of grass-fed beef or 3 lbs Force of Nature Ancestral Blend
2 eggs
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup chopped parsley, fresh
1/4 cup chopped mint, fresh
1 tbsp coriander
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp pink salt
1/4 cup of flax meal

Salad:

2 cucumbers, chopped
1/4 red onion, chopped
3 Roma tomatos, chopped
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: A dash of cumin, smoked paprika and coriander

Directions

For the burger, add the meat and seasoning to a large bowl. Roll into balls and press into patties. Pan fry in a little avocado oil or grill until cooked to your liking.
Rinse and finely chop your vegetables for the salad and add to a large mixing bowl. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper. You can hit it with a little cumin, smoked paprika and coriander for more flavor. Toss to combine and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to incorporate.
To plate, add the salad to a serving dish and top with the burger. Optional to add a little feta or goat cheese to this if you don’t have a dairy allergy. Enjoy!
