Ingredients
For the Veggie Burger Salad:
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 2 small tomatoes, chopped
- 1 medium avocado, chopped
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 6 round dill pickle slices, chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup cubed cheddar cheese
- 2 cooked veggie burgers of choice, crumbled
For the Honey Dijon Dressing:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the salad base: Add chopped romaine lettuce evenly into two separate bowls as the foundation of your salad.
- Add fresh toppings: Top each bowl of lettuce with evenly divided chopped tomatoes, chopped avocado, diced red onion, chopped dill pickles, and cubed cheddar cheese, layering to create a burst of color and texture.
- Add the veggie burger: Crumble one cooked veggie burger over the top of each salad bowl to add protein and hearty flavor.
- Make the dressing (optional): In a mason jar or container with a lid, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Screw on the lid and shake vigorously until the dressing is fully emulsified and well combined.
- Dress and serve: Drizzle the Honey Dijon dressing over the salads just before serving and enjoy immediately for the freshest flavors.
Notes
- You can use any kind of cooked veggie burger to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
- Adjust the amount of pickles according to your preferred level of tanginess.
- The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week if made ahead.
- For a vegan version, substitute cheddar cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and ensure veggie burgers are vegan-friendly.
- Adding extra veggies like cucumbers or shredded carrots can enhance the salad’s freshness and texture.
