Salad Plates

Method

Salad Plates

  1. 1

    Split the hamburger bun and brush the cut sides with 1 teaspoon butter. Toast the bun halves in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on the bottom bun, and spread 2 tablespoons ketchup and 1 teaspoon mustard on the top bun.

  3. 3

    Season the beef patty on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the beef patty in a hot skillet or grill for 3–4 minutes per side. Place the cheddar cheese slice on top during the last minute to melt.

  5. 5

    On the bottom bun, arrange lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, and dill pickle slices as a crisp bed.

  6. 6

    Place the cheese-topped patty on the bed of vegetables, then crown with the top bun. Transfer to a salad plate and serve.
