    How to make Burger Bowl

    Heat Avocado Oil in a skillet.

    As the oil shimmers, add the Ground Beef along with minced Garlic, Dijon Mustard, Worcestershire Sauce, Salt and Pepper. Toss to combine and cook for 4-5 min.

    Get it out of heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Set aside

    Assemble the salad bowl. Start with the greens followed by Red Onion slices, Cherry Tomatoes, diced Pickle, Avocado Slices and add the Ground Beef mixture to it.

    Top with shredded Cheddar Cheese

    Make the sauce by whisking together Ranch dressing, Ketchup, Dijon Mustard and Garlic Powder in a bowl.

    Drizzle over the salad and serve!

    Hint: The Burger Sauce is simple and low carb. You can add Mayonnaise if you wish to. (If you have to use Mayonnaise for the Burger Sauce, use Avocado Oil Mayonnaise as its rather healthier)
