Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g lean beef mince 5%: This is the protein powerhouse of our bowl.
  • Paprika chili powder, garlic powder (to taste): These are our flavor friends! Adjust to your spice preference.
  • Lettuce: Choose your favorite kind a crisp romaine or a tender butterhead.
  • Cucumber: Adds a refreshing crunch!
  • Red onion: For a little zing.
  • 15 g Feta cheese: Because cheese!
  • 30 g Tortilla crisps: Adds the much-needed crunch
  • Greek yogurt dip: Greek yogurt + peri peri sauce
  • Jalapeños for topping: Bring on the heat!

Method
 

  1. In a pan over medium heat, cook the beef mince until browned.
  2. Season with paprika, chili powder, and garlic powder. Use your taste buds to decide how much of each to add! This is your chance to get creative.
  3. While the beef sizzles, chop the lettuce, cucumber, and red onion. Toss them together in a salad bowl.
  4. Once the beef is browned and cooked through, drain off any excess grease (if there is any).
  5. Layer that seasoned beef right on top of your fresh veggies. Mmm, smells amazing already, right?
  6. Sprinkle feta cheese and crushed tortilla crisps over the bowl.
  7. Drizzle generously with the Greek yogurt dip. This is where things get saucy (in the best way!). Mix the Greek yogurt dip with peri peri sauce to desired taste. A little kick of heat is always a good idea!
  8. Top with jalapeños for an extra pop of flavor and a little bit more heat (optional, of course!).
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, protein-packed salad. Eat it and tell me this isn't absolutely delicious!

Notes
