Teriyaki Burger Salad is a hearty and delicious salad made with burger ingredients. It is super easy to make as the only cooking required is to brown the ground meat. Since we don’t use buns for a salad, there is no need to form burger patties, either. You can simply cook the ground beef (or turkey) in a frying pan and season with a light homemade teriyaki sauce. While Teriyaki Burger is usually assembled with a sweet and thick teriyaki sauce, we cut down the sweetness in this recipe to be low-carb. There is no separate dressing needed for this salad, but you can add some oil and vinegar to the vegetables if you like. Teriyaki burger salad definitely satisfies a burger craving, but it’s so much healthier. If you like Teriyaki burger, you should definitely give this a try!
