This grass-fed burger salad recipe is super simple but it’s also really fun and delicious. This is a nifty way to get your grass-fed beef and greens in one dish. If you use the ground beef instead of the patties, Jessi recommends adding a 1/4 lb of ground pork to the burger for a flavor kick.

Instructions For Grass-fed Burger Salad
- Preheat a grill to 450. Combine all the burger ingredients in a bowl and thoroughly mix.
- Divide the batter in to 4 large patties. Place on the grill and cook about three minutes per a side and then use a meat thermometer to check if they are cooked to your personal preference
- Combine all of the salad ingredients in a bowl and toss together.
- Divide among four large bowls or plates. Pour one tablespoon of Dijon and one teaspoon of hot sauce on the salad and top with the grilled burger.
Notes
- If you don’t have a grill I would recommend a cast iron skillet to cook the burger. You will need to increase cooking time to about five minutes a side and then temp it
