Here's some simple ideas for serving your salad.
Cheeseburger Tortilla Wrap
Make your salad as per the recipe and roll the whole lot up in your favourite flat-bread. You could even add salsa sauce to the flat-bread.
Lettuce Wraps

Barbecued Cheeseburger Salad
This salad also makes a fantastic fresh barbecue side-dish by cooking the meat on your hotplate and build your salad in front of all your guests.
Add some diced onions and garlic to the mince/ground beef. It adds a ton of yummy flavour to your meat.
You can also add a little bit of mustard to the dressing mix for an extra kick, if you like.
