Ingredients:
- 93% lean ground beef
- Fresh cucumber, sliced
- Juicy tomatoes, chopped or halved cherry tomatoes
- Thinly sliced red onion
- G Hughes Sugar-Free Salad Dressing (flavor of your choice)
Why It Works:
Lean ground beef is an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Choosing 93% lean keeps the fat content lower while still giving you that satisfying, meaty flavor. When paired with crunchy cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and zesty red onion, you get a refreshing contrast that makes this dish not just healthy, but crave-worthy.
The real kicker? G Hughes Sugar-Free Salad Dressing. It brings flavor without added sugar or excessive calories. Whether you go with balsamic, honey mustard, or raspberry vinaigrette, this dressing adds a delicious punch to the bowl without derailing your macros.
How to Make It:
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any of your favorite spices.
- While the beef cooks, prep your vegetables—slice cucumbers, chop tomatoes, and thinly slice red onions.
- Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat if needed.
- In a bowl, layer the vegetables and top with the hot ground beef.
- Drizzle with G Hughes Sugar-Free Salad Dressing and mix to combine.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of feta or a few olives for Mediterranean flair, or avocado for healthy fats.
Macro-Friendly, Meal-Prep Ready:
This meal is perfect for meal prep, too. Make a large batch of seasoned ground beef and portion it out with your chopped veggies for easy lunches throughout the week. Just keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to eat.
