You can still enjoy all the taste of a juicy, veggie-topped burger without any of the excess calories due to a thick bun or heavy mayo-based sauce. This paleo salad features a hearty burger patty, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and an herb-y vinaigrette to drizzle atop. We love the richness that a little ground lamb offers, but you can use all beef or even ground turkey instead.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat broiler to high.
Step 2
Cut onion half in half. Place 1 onion quarter in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red pepper, allspice, and garlic; pulse until ground. Add beef, lamb, and egg; pulse to combine.
Step 3
Shape beef mixture into 8 patties. Place patties on a jelly-roll pan; broil 6 minutes or until done.
Step 4
Combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, remaining 2 tablespoons parsley, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Step 5
Toss kale with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Slice remaining onion. Divide kale mixture among 4 plates; top with sliced onion, sliced cucumber, and tomato. Arrange 2 patties on each salad; drizzle evenly with vinaigrette.
