Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 2 vegan burger patties No Bull or similar
  • 2 slices vegan cheese Rebel Cheese or Good Planet recommended
  • 4 cups iceberg lettuce chopped
  • cup sliced pickles

For the Herby Vegan "Mac" Dressing:

  • ½ cup vegan mayo
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies

  • Chop iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Slice pickles and get your herbs (dill and cilantro) finely chopped. Set aside.

Sear the Vegan Patties

  • Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sear your No Bull patties until golden and heated through, about 3–4 minutes per side.

Melt the Cheese

  • Just before the patties are done, place a slice of vegan cheese on each one. Cover the pan for 30 seconds to melt.

Make the Herby “Mac” Sauce

  • In a bowl, whisk together vegan mayo, ketchup, mustard, a splash of pickle juice, and your chopped herbs. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble the Salad

  • Lay a bed of iceberg lettuce in your bowl. Slice the cheesy patties into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the lettuce. Add pickles, drizzle generously with your dressing, and toss to combine.
