- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce

Instructions
- Prepare your burger dressing first by combining all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or a food processor until smooth. Adjust water for desired consistency. Set aside.
- Brown the lean ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season the meat with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper while cooking. Once cooked through, drain any excess fat.
- Assemble the bowls: distribute the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among four serving bowls.
- Layer the cooked seasoned ground beef over the lettuce in each bowl.
- Evenly scatter the sliced red onion, diced cherry tomatoes, and chopped dill pickles over the beef.
- Top each bowl with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Generously drizzle the prepared Skinny Big Mac dressing over each cheeseburger bowl. Serve immediately or prepare for meal-prepping.
