Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Prepare the Secret Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, ketchup, minced white onion, olive oil, sugar, white vinegar, lemon juice, dry mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. (5 minutes) Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

02

Step

10 mins

Cook the Burger Patties: Preheat a large grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. Cook the hamburger patties, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. (10-15 minutes) An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat and let cool slightly before chopping into bite-sized pieces. (5 minutes)

03

Step

5 mins

Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, gently toss together the chopped hamburger patties, mixed salad greens, shredded Cheddar cheese, diced red onion, and chopped dill pickle chips. (5 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Dress and Serve: Drizzle the secret sauce over the salad, tossing gently to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For a tangier sauce, add an extra splash of vinegar.
If you don't have a grill pan, you can cook the patties in a skillet over medium heat.
Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite burger toppings, such as tomato, bacon, or avocado.
For a healthier twist, use lean ground beef or turkey patties.
