A delightful twist on the classic cheeseburger, this salad combines all the flavors you love in a fresh and satisfying way.
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, then drain any excess fat.
Season the beef with a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking for enhanced flavor.
Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large serving bowl.
Ensure the lettuce is thoroughly washed and dried for a crisp texture.
Dice the onion finely and add it to the bowl with the lettuce.
Use a sharp knife to avoid crushing the onion and releasing too much juice.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the salad.
For a more intense flavor, use aged cheddar cheese.
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together until smooth for a consistent texture.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Toss the salad just before serving to keep it fresh and crisp.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top as a garnish.
Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance their nutty flavor.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy!
Pair with a refreshing drink for a complete meal.
