Have you tried the pineapple meatballs? Erica made them and they guys loved them! I’ve enjoyed them once again too, but this time in burger form. I left out the pineapple because they weren’t going in a crockpot and Jacob BBQs them up on the charcoal grill.
You can easily form the meatballs into burger patties and enjoy them that way. It’s such a simple recipe too.
The next day instead of having another burger I broke a patty up on top of my salad. It was a good decision.
Spinach + romaine + carrot + mushroom base.
Added chickpeas for protein + fiber and delicious taste + texture too.
This was light, summery and held me over for a long time! Salads always take a while for me to eat, and I just didn’t want this one to end.
I quickly mixed up my favorite dressing as of late: 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar + 2 tbsp whole grain mustard. Same one I used on my crunchy tempeh salad.
Do you ever break up burger patties on top of salads?
During warmer weather I crave salads and veggies, so this hit the spot. It feels like we’re actually in summer right now!
We did a bit more yard work today, mostly Jacob. I just wasn’t feeling it in the afternoon. I definitely prefer AM yard work.
Great garden news – My arugula is beginning to sprout up! I’ll keep my eye out for more veggies growing!

I’ve definitely done burgers on salads, and loved it. I haven’t tried adding meatballs to my burger though, which I think is brilliant. ‘
Glad to hear about your arugula. We just planted our garden yesterday so I’m excited to start watching it grow.
Glad to hear I’m not the only one that just planted their garden. I thought I started a bit late. What all did you guys plant?
Such a great lunch idea! Looks to yummy!
I have broken up a patty before and eaten it on a salad, but I had totally forgotten about it! Great idea! Your salad looks great!
My arugula is doing well, too. Sadly, the leaf lettuce has been almost all eaten by the squirrels…
Dang squirrels! My only annoyance is slugs but a cup of beer seems to keep them away nicely.
that looks so fresh and awesome…yum!
What a delicious, PROTEIN packed salad!!
Thanks for the comment 🙂
fun idea for a salad!
Your for your arugula starting to sprout! I am jealous haha. Only my cucumbers have sprouted so far.
I have broken a burger up on a salad and made bbq sauce the dressing. Yumster.
Yay for the sprouting cucumbers!
I do that too! I took a “chicken” pattie today and crumbled it on my salad. I’ll do that with veggie patties too. Yum. 🙂
Your salad looks delicious!
It’s so simple but always tastes so good 🙂
