# Steps to Prepare:

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Sauté until thoroughly browned, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

While the beef cooks, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the dill pickle.
03 -
In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, halved tomatoes, sliced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced dill pickle. Toss to mix well.
04 -
Incorporate the cooled ground beef into the salad base. Gently toss to distribute the meat evenly.

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise until emulsified. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to coat all ingredients thoroughly.

Divide the salad among bowls. Garnish each serving with avocado slices. Serve immediately.
# Extra Cooking Tips:

For a lighter dressing, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. Serve immediately after dressing to retain the crispness of the lettuce.
