I really enjoyed this wedge salad burger, it was such a delicious treat for my keto diet! Being on a diet while cooking for your family doesn’t mean you have to make two different meals.

Just fire up the griddle or cast iron pan for these tasty burgers. Add some bacon while you’re at it because bacon makes everything better!
WHAT’S YOUR BEEF?
I like to use 80/20 ground chuck when making my burgers. That means the beef is 80% meat and 20% fat. For me, that’s the perfect fat to meat ratio for juicy burgers.
Make a dressing for your wedge salad burger with some blue cheese, sour cream, half and half, dill and pepper. The full recipe is below.
Next, grab a head of iceberg lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is low in carbs and adds some cool, crisp crunch to your burger. Serve the whole thing with a little chopped tomato and enjoy.
