Cheeseburger Salad : Low Carb : Keto


Jill Wallentin says "This amazing salad is quick, inexpensive and filled with all of the best flavours of a juicy cheeseburger. The ingredients come together for a familiar and favourite taste sensation that makes you wonder why you ever ate burgers on a bun! The pickles and onion not only add flavour, but also add a nice crunchy texture bite after bite"

Sounds and looks delicious, here are the ingredients you will need for four people ...

Did you know this about Cheddar
"During olden days, England was the only place where Cheddar cheeses were made. However, many countries all over the world manufacture Cheddar today.

Any cheese producing company or any of the artisan manufacturers in any corner of the world can label the cheese produced by them as 'Cheddar' since it is not protected like other cheese names or brands.

Cheddar cheese, the most widely purchased and eaten cheese in the world is always made from cow's milk. It is a hard and natural cheese that has a slightly crumbly texture if properly cured and if it is too young, the texture is smooth. It gets a sharper taste as it matures, over a period of time between 9 to 24 months. Shaped like a drum, 15 inches in diameter, Cheddar cheese is natural rind bound in cloth while its colour generally ranges from white to pale yellow. However, some Cheddars may have a manually added yellow-orange colour. 


Joseph Harding, the "father of Cheddar cheese" who invented modern cheese making techniques described the ideal quality of original Somerset Cheddar as "close and firm in texture, mellow in character or quality, rich with a tendency to melt in the mouth and has full and fine flavour somewhat like hazelnut!"

That's an unusual salad having minced beef. I expect one of these cookery programmes would call it a deconstructed cheeseburger.

Ella said...

Very tasty ... I think!

Tom said...

...yum!

Sounds delicious if not a tad unusual. I agree with Jo it would be called a deconstructed beefburger and cost the earth in a posh restaurant.

CJ Kennedy said...

Add bacon and this is perfect 😋

Great idea of a cheeseburger salad. Interesting read on cheddar, something we take for granted.

Sally said...

Okay, that really looks good. Send it to me, please. :)

Happy Easter!

Greetings from London.

Giga said...

I don't have many ingredients for this salad at home, and now shopping is difficult and risky, so I can't do it myself. However, it looks delicious and certainly is. Greetings.

DVArtist said...

This IS good. I make it often.

sandy said...

that looks delicious.

Which reminds me I am in need of a "wedge" salad soon. yum.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi---Hope you and your family had a good Easter... Yes, it was different from most years --but there are always ways to find satisfaction with what we have available to us....

We make a similar salad every Sunday for lunch... I will cook a couple of 2 oz hamburger patties and then cut them all up... We'll make a big tossed salad with all kinds of veggies..... I'll add some cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and some Ranch Dressing.... VERY good lunch for us.

Stay HEALTHY and SAFE.

Hugs,
Betsy

las ensaladas, las como con regularidad y también me gusta ir variando los ingredientes que pongo en ellas.

Espero que te encuentres bien, junto a tu familia. Por aquí la población está confinada, por lo que ahora permanezco en casa.

Hi Jan, hope you and Eddie had a great Easter. The salad looks so good. And I think that dressing could go with other salads, too.

happyone said...

That sure looks good!!

Lorrie said...

Belated Happy Easter, Jan. The salad looks delicious. Very often, when we are grilling burgers for the family in the summer (may we do so soon) I make a salad with my burger rather than eat a bun. The dressing recipe sounds lovely.

I would enjoy this salad very much. I do have hamburger in our refrigerator that I will use to make this lovely dish. Thank you, Jan.

I quite often don't eat much of a bun so this recipe suits me. {apart from raw onion which doesn't agree with me unfortunately}
