    Forget the bun and make a hamburger salad instead - it was an ingenious thought that arrived with Paleo and Keto principles, so we followed up with it, and here's what we found: small beef burgers tossed with fresh greens and smothered in a tomato-mayo-smoked paprika spiced sauce is way too good not to eat again.

    Reminisce about the bun all you want, but it is really not necessary, nor healthy, to eat modern grains - though you can sprinkle some poppy seeds on your salad as a reminder of the good old days.

    Keto Hamburger Salad

    While we embrace slow cooked meals, we realize the importance of nourished zippy cooking too, for life sometimes moves at a faster speed than we would like.

    This recipe is great on those whirlwind days when you just don't know what to cook when you aren't feeling as explorative in ingredients, and you want to know for sure that no one will protest; after all, what's not to love about ketchup and mustard?

    We know you will want a bite or two of dessert afterward, something with more than a whisper of chocolate... We have just the thing: chocolate almond butter fat bombs. One bite into the divine chocolate and the entire meal will definitely be requested again and again.

    Keto Hamburger Salad Recipe Preparation

    Preparation

    2. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing; season to taste and whisk well.
    3. Melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
