A quick and easy low-carb burger bowl featuring seasoned ground beef, fresh veggies, creamy avocado, and a tangy dressing. Perfect for a wholesome, satisfying meal without the carb overload of traditional burgers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended for juiciness)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, or romaine)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Veggies (10 minutes): Rinse and dry mixed greens thoroughly. Halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, dice cucumber, chop pickles and parsley. Slice avocado last to prevent browning.
  2. Make the Dressing (5 minutes): Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. Chill in fridge.
  3. Cook the Beef (10-12 minutes): Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
  4. Assemble the Bowls (5 minutes): Divide mixed greens evenly between four bowls. Top each with cooked beef, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, shredded cheddar (if using), avocado slices, pickles, and parsley.
  5. Drizzle & Serve: Spoon dressing over each bowl just before serving. Toss gently if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. For dairy-free, swap cheddar for dairy-free cheese or omit. Vegan options include seasoned crumbled tofu or tempeh and vegan mayo. Cook beef until just browned to avoid dryness. Prepare beef and veggies ahead but add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
