How to Make Amy S Dill Pickle And Lettuce Hamburger Slaw

  1. Finely chop 1 cup of dill pickles. (Reserve some pickle juice for extra zing if desired!)
  2. Dice 1 large hamburger patty into bite-sized pieces. (You can use leftover cooked hamburger or cook a fresh one).
  3. Chop 1 head of iceberg lettuce or 5 cups of your favorite lettuce blend into thin strips.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the chopped pickles, diced hamburger, and lettuce.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise (adjust to your preference), 1 tablespoon of pickle juice (optional), and a pinch of black pepper.
  6. Pour the mayonnaise mixture over the pickle, hamburger, and lettuce mixture.
  7. Toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. The flavors will intensify as it chills!
  9. Garnish with extra dill pickle slices or fresh herbs (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
