Mini Cheeseburger Salad w/ Mustard Vinagrette

If you like cheeseburgers, you'll love this recipe. Saw it on RR, tried it and Steve was impressed. It's a really pretty presentation and quick to make.

Ingredients:
1 lb of lean ground beef or ground turkey
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp steak seasoning or salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
sliced FF cheddar cheese
3 large hearts of romaine
1 cup of sliced pickles (I like kosher dill)
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes

Yellow Mustard Vinagrette Dressing:
3 tbsp yellow mustard (French's brand)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp finely chopped chives (I don't use this, I just finish is off with lots of pepper)
2 tbsp drained salad pimentos or chopped red bell pepper (I don't use this either)

Preheat your grill or even an indoor grillpan. Combine meat with onion, worcestershire and seasoning. Form 2 inch meatballs, then flatten them into patties. Drizzle them with olive oil so they don't stick to pan. Cook the patties 3 min. on each side or till desired and put a mini-slice of cheese on each one till it melts.
Chop romaine and combine with sliced pickles and halved cherry tomatoes.
For dressing, whish together the mustard and cider vinegar. Steam in the olive oil. Add the chopped chives and pimentos (if desired). Stir to combine.
Arrange mini cheeseburgers on salad and drizzle yellow mustard over the completed dish.
Enjoy!
