Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb (225g) lean ground beef (90% lean or better)

• 1 tsp olive oil

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 4 cups romaine or iceberg lettuce, chopped

• 1/4 cup dill pickles, sliced

1. Cook the beef:
   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked (8–10 mins). Drain excess fat if needed.

2. Make the “burger sauce”:
   In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt (or mayo), ketchup, and mustard until smooth.

3. Assemble the salad:
   In a large bowl or plate, layer lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickles, avocado, and shredded cheese.

4. Add beef & drizzle sauce:
   Top the salad with the warm ground beef and drizzle with burger sauce.
