In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce until browned. Drain excess grease.

While the beef cooks, prep lettuce, cheese, pickles, tomatoes, and onions. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, and chopped pickles. Chill if desired.

To assemble, layer lettuce in a bowl, top with warm beef, then sprinkle cheese, pickles, tomatoes, and onion.

Drizzle the burger dressing generously over the salad.

Toss gently before serving, or serve dressing on the side.

Store beef, toppings, and dressing separately if making ahead.

Swap ground turkey or veggie crumbles for variation.

Make it spicy by adding jalapeños or chipotle to the dressing
