A no-bun burger bowl that is Whole30 compliant, combining seasoned ground beef with fresh veggies and a tangy mayo-based sauce for a hearty, healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (85% lean)
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 2 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, or salad mix)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup compliant mayonnaise (e.g., Primal Kitchen)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (sugar-free)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Slice the red onion thinly, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and slice the avocado just before serving to avoid browning. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the compliant mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until assembly.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently mix the ground beef with smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Avoid overworking the meat.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  5. Place a bed of mixed greens in serving bowls. Top with cooked ground beef, then arrange red onions, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and avocado slices on top.
  6. Drizzle the Whole30 sauce over the bowl or serve it on the side. Optionally, add freshly cracked black pepper.
  7. Serve immediately while the beef is warm and veggies are crisp.

Notes

Do not overmix the beef to keep it tender. Heat the pan well to develop a crust on the beef. Prepare the sauce ahead for better flavor. Slice avocado last to prevent browning. Optionally add toasted nuts or seeds for texture. Ground turkey or chicken can be substituted for beef with adjusted cooking times.
