Loaded Burger Bowl Salad In A Jar (with homemade Thousand Island Dressing)

lb 85% Lean Grass-Fed Ground Beef

Yellow Onion, finely diced

Paprika

tsp Garlic Powder

Sea Salt

tsp Black Pepper

tsp Onion Powder

Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Slices of Turkey Bacon, cooked & cut into bite-size pieces

Red Onion, finely chopped

C. Cherry Tomatoes, halved

C. Dill Pickle Slices, chopped

C. Organic Shredded Cheese (optional, eliminate for strict Paleo)

C. Romaine Lettuce, chopped

Tbsp Organic Ketchup

Tbsp Tomato Paste

tsp Raw Honey

tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Tbsp Organic Pickled Relish (sweetened

Tbsp Water

Add ground beef to a skillet over medium heat.  Once it's about 50% done, add all of the beef seasonings.  Mix until fully combined.  Then, add the chopped yellow onion.  Continue cooking until the ground beef is fully browned and the onion is soft and translucent.

In a mixing bowl, add all of the Thousand Island ingredients, except the water, and mix until fully combined.  Then, pour in the water slowly while mixing.  Continue mixing until fully combined.

Separate all of the salad ingredients into 4 equal parts, including the ground beef mixture.  Get 4 MB Jars or Mason Jars and get ready to layer!

To assemble each salad-in-a-jar, pour in the thousand island dressing first to coat the bottom of the jar (usually about 2-3 Tbsp).  Then, layer the salad in this order:  ground beef mixture, red onion, cherry tomatoes, chopped pickles, turkey bacon, shredded cheese, and romaine lettuce.

Place in fridge for up to 3-4 days.  When ready to serve, dump everything into a bowl or onto a plate, mix, and ENJOY!

Cook quinoa according to package directions, likely cooking with 1 cup water to the 1/2 cup dry quinoa. Transfer about half of the cooked quinoa to a very large bowl. I don’t use all the quinoa for the salad and save the rest for another use. I find it too difficult to cook less than 1/2 cup dry quinoa.

Add the Greek yogurt and shake until creamy and incorporated, about 1 minute. Taste and check for seasoning balance, adding more salt, pepper, etc. as necessary. I prefer this dressing to be on the saltier side because it’s going to be coating a large bowl of unseasoned kale, vegetables, and quinoa and you need it to read salty out of the jar to properly flavor the salad.

Add desired amount of dressing to salad, toss well to combine, and serve immediately. Extra dressing will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 1 week; shake vigorously before using.
