 Mini Mac in a Bowl

INGREDIENTS

• 2 tbsp diced onion
• 5 oz. lean ground or minced beef (We used ground turkey) 
• 2 tbsp light Thousand Island salad dressing (<5g carbohydrate per 30mL)
• 1⁄2 tsp white vinegar
• 1⁄2 tsp onion powder
• 3 cups (140g) shredded romaine lettuce
• 1 1⁄2 tbsp reduced-fat cheese, like cheddar, shredded or cut into small pieces
• dill pickles, sliced
• 1⁄2 tsp sesame seeds (optional) 

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a small, lightly greased skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat and cook until thoroughly browned.
2. Meanwhile, mix together dressing, vinegar, and onion powder.
3. To assemble: Top lettuce with ground beef and sprinkle with cheese. Top with pickle slices, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

NOTE:

You may substitute an equal amount of sliced cucumber or a cup of kimchi instead of the dill pickles.
