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
- ⅓ 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.
