Bacon Cheeseburger Salad

 

Last summer, Hubs and I took the kids on an epic road trip to the East coast - 22 states in 14 days!  One of our stops (Spud’s choice) was the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts.  It was his dream come true - he was one happy teen!

Afterward, we went out for lunch (I wish I remembered the restaurant name) and I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger Salad.  It was so good, I knew I wanted to replicate it at home!

The burger itself is straightforward, with burger sauce as the dressing and all those great burger toppings as salad toppings!  Simple, yet effective!
