Very simple to make and really good.
Dou prefer it with the meat warm or cold?
I typically eat this with the meat warmed. So if I’m storing things to eat later, I will reheat the meat and add it to the salad.
Dinner comes together quick with this recipe. Full of flavor, hearty yet healthy and a family favorite (which is a rare find). Don’t skip making the burger sauce. Most of it can even be prepped ahead of time. This one is definitely put on repeat.
I have made this 3 times. Each time my husband keeps saying we need to have this more often. Now that summer is here we definitely will. It is sooooo good!
