Cheeseburger Salad
One of the fastest to prepare on a busy night is this cheeseburger salad. This meal is not heavy to consume, and the greens are crisp and refreshing. If you love cheeseburgers, you’ll definitely love this salad version too!
Ingredients
- 100g Hamburger mince
- 2 Tbsp diced onions - (optional)
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded - Iceburg or Romaine
- 2 Tbsp shredded Cheddar
-
Small Salad Tomato or 6 Cherry/Plum Tomatoes
- Salt & Pepper to taste
For the dressing:
- 1.5 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp sugar-free Tomato Ketchup
-
1/2 tsp Liquid Smoke
Optional: Add mustard or minced onions, pickles or garlic to the sauce for your desired burger sauce flavor.
Getting it done
1) Sear beef in a pan until brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
*Optional: I added some diced onions and garlic to my mince/ground beef. It adds a ton of yummy flavor to your meat.
2) Chop your lettuce and tomatoes and place in a bowl.
3) Grate your cheese. You can use pre-shredded, but I don’t think it tastes as nice, plus they add cellulose (sawdust) to keep the cheese from sticking together, so I try to avoid it.
4) Make your dressing. This is a keto twist (sugar-free ketchup) on your traditional burger sauce. I LOVE Stubb’s liquid smoke, but any liquid smoke is fine. You can also add mustard to the mix for an extra kick, if you like.
5) In a bowl, toss lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar, and cooked hamburger/mince. Drizzle with burger sauce dressing and enjoy!
Smoky Keto Cheeseburger Salad - Enjoy!

Cheese, please!
Cheese is basically the perfect keto diet food. It’s high in fat, contains protein, and is low-carb. Cheese adds flavor and variety to your meals, and can be an easy to grab snack on the go. The best varieties for the keto diet are high-quality and full-fat, try to avoid over-processed cheeses.
Another myth of the keto diet is that, “You can eat as much cheese as you want!” Cheese isn’t actually “unlimited” when you’re on the keto diet. While keto-friendly, it still contains calories and carbs, so best not to over do it.
Keep it Sweet (and keto!)
My personal favorite keto sweetener is Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener. It’s what I typically use in my coffee and something I keep in the pantry for when I get a sweet tooth.
