I don’t know. Sometimes you just can’t decide between things. Today I wanted a cheeseburger. Also a salad. Also something meatless. What does that mean? Time for a Vegetarian Cheeseburger Salad! I’ve made a few renditions of a burger bowl/salad before. Some with meat. Some without. This one has to be one of my favorites.

It’s a fun combination of three things that I absolutely adore. Less meat. More veggies. And crazy easy! this dinner takes well under 30 minutes to make and it’s something that everyone at the dinner table is sure to love. Meat-eater or no.

Normally vegetarian salads struggle to feel hearty and filling, but not this one. This one definitely feels like a meal instead of a side dish. It’s good stuff too, and with all the layers of flavor going on, it’s almost impossible to tell that this is a vegetarian dish.

This salad has it all too. Everything you’d find on a standard American burger. Cheese, lettuce, onion, condiments, pickles. The works. All of that and more. Without the guilt
