A Loaded Burger in Salad Form
Who doesn’t love a juicy, loaded burger? Burgers are one of my top comfort foods, but they can be messy and are always gone way too fast! This loaded burger is deconstructed and in salad from, an easy hack to curbing your burger craving and getting even MORE delicious burger bites.
Here are all the delicious ingredients:
- Veggie Burger. I bought mine from Actual Veggies, the healthiest veggie burgers on the market. Buy a bunch and keep them frozen! Use code PLANTCOLLECTIVE25 for a discount.

- Romaine.
- Avocado.
- Air Fried Sweet Potato Wedges.

Customizable
There are many ways you can customize this burger bowl to your liking – there is truly no wrong way! Check out these delicious ideas for substitutes:
- Looking for a more authentic burger option? Sub the veggie burger for a Beyond Burger.
- Looking for more of a crumble rather than a whole burger? Try Abbot’s Butcher ground “beef”.
