Any of you ever make a salad where it has a hot burger w/ melted cheese in it? With your favorite condiments in it: e.g. pickles, tomatoes, onions… and for dressing like mayo, mustard, ketchup… whatever you like. Basically a large bed of lettuce with all that in it. I love it! Tastes just like the hamburgers I used to eat but also a salad. All the lettuce does all the work the bread used to in filling me up.
Try it some time if you haven’t 
kind of. i generally eat pretty clean, but occasionally, i’ll pick up a couple of fast food burgers, less the bun and the ketchup, with bacon added, and extra pickles / extra lettuce. same concept, right? 
I’ve been doing that for years,’particularly if I have fast food. I put the burger on the side salad and dress it with mayo.
I will do a hamburger salad but I let my hamburger cool down to warm before adding it to the salad. I don’t like what heat does to lettuce… makes it kind of rancid looking and transparent, but I am admittedly weird about some things.
Yep, it’s my go to. I usually add some cauliflower and deli sliced jalapeno to the hamburger while cooking, and slice up an avocado, then drown it lettuce and all with hot sauce to get my sodium up.
