Bacon Blueberry Blue Cheese Burger Salad

If you’ve grown tired of  eating your burger on a bun, try eating it on top of your salad! A burger on top of fresh mixed greens and topped with bacon, blueberries, and blue cheese is just the change you need!

Bacon, blueberries, and blue cheese three of my favorite foods!  Blueberries are in season for just a smidge longer so I am using them in everything!  Now I know not everyone loves fruit on their salad, no problem just leave off the berries if that’s the case.

Do you prefer your salad savory or sweet?

I love burger salads.  I’m all about the toppings with my burger anyway.  When I construct my burger it’s such a conglomeration of condiments, cheese, and toppings I have to dig in with a knife and fork. So I might has well leave off the bread and dig right in.

Gather these ingredients

This is how you make Blueberry Bacon Hamburg Salad

1. Burger patties, make them how you like them.  I simply pat 1/4 pound of ground beef into a patty season it with Lawry’s and grill them up medium well.

2. Bacon cooked crisp, a nice stinky creamy blue cheese, blueberries washed, green onion sliced thin, and don’t forget the pecans!

My refrigerator is never with out mixed greens or romaine lettuce, either one will work perfectly for this salad.

Oh golly I’m wanting this salad right now.  Do you think 10:44pm on a Tuesday night is too late to fire up the grill?  Which leads me to the fact, that this salad would be great made with any leftover cooked hamburgers you have from a cookout.

Do you know how good blueberries are for you?  Eat your blueberries people!

3. Rosemary Balsamic Vinaigrette:  This rosemary balsamic vinaigrette packs a punch! Whisk all the vinaigrette ingredients together. Drizzle over salad and dig in!

There you have it folks your dinner dilemma is solved!  What?  Your kids would never eat this you say.  Well they might if you made them, but if you’re not into watching your kid squirm over a delicious burger salad, no worries just make them a normal ol’ everyday hamburg with cheese and catsup and you eat the salad!
