it is very possible that your nerd has a natural aversion to anything with the word "salad" in it. sooooo, unless you have successfully convinced your nerd that lettuce is made of bacon and mountain dew, he probably won't go near the stuff. this is where a little creativity and ingenuity come into play. if your nerd happens to be a salad lover (like mine is!), this meal is a great break from the norm!
we typically have salad four or five times a week, and this is on our top five list. i don't make it often, but sometimes when you've had salad after salad after salad, you just want a nice, juicy burger. this is the best of both worlds.
hamburger salad:
1 head romaine lettuce (use whatever lettuce you like. i use romaine because it is a great source of vitamins and minerals)
2 hamburger patties, seasoned, fully cooked, and chopped into small pieces
sharp or medium cheddar, shredded
1 tomato, cut into wedges
1 avocado, pitted and sliced
yellow onion, sliced and grilled
dill pickles (just do it. trust me. it's delicious!)
thousand island dressing
croutons
toss in a large salad bowl and enjoy guiltlessly.
