Salad Prep

Prep all your salad ingredients (wash and chop as directed in ingredients) and place them in individual bowls.

Burger Meat

Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as you go, until mostly browned.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper. Cook until beef is browned all over. Add the mustard and worcestershire sauce and stir through.
Drain any excess liquid from the beef, if required. Saute the sesame seeds for 30 seconds - 1 min and stir through the beef.

Burger Sauce

While the beef is browning, make the burger sauce. Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and mix together until combined.

Serving

Lay all the salad ingredients, beef and sauce on the table and allow the family to create their own salad bowls.

Notes

Ground Beef Alternative: If you or your children are not keen on ground beef then it can be substituted with ground chicken/turkey. Alternatively, cook the burgers and crumble/chop them into bite-sized pieces.

Onion: Try thinly slicing and soaking the onions in lemon juice, vinegar or water for 20 mins before serving. This reduces the strong taste that is often off-putting to children.

Burger Sauce: Taste and adjust to suit. (For a sweeter sauce add more mayo/ketchup, for a more acidic sauce add more vinegar. Want it spicier? Try adding a little hot sauce).
